Facility Inspections
This nursing home earned an inspection score which is stronger than its overall grade. Inspection grades are tied to the nursing home's recent government inspections. We awarded this facility an above average grade of B+ in this category. Our inspection grades are based on several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This place was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's better category grades was in the category of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a B+. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 89.837395 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is slightly less than we expected but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. Our nursing score looks at the facility's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of training of those nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home averages 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident daily, which is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. It performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care provided.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed is short-term care. For this category, we awarded this facility a C. Our short-term care grades are important for patients looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. It does not appear that this facility provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
