Facility Inspections
This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We gave them an A- in this category. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable area is long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility vaccinated 96.38009 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable percentage. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility's third best category was short-term care. However, with a D in this area, it still fared relatively poorly. Our short-term care grades are arguably most meaningful for patients requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Based on its poor rating in this category, we weren't shocked to find that this nursing home offers substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most facilities. The last item we assessed in this area is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
The next category we assessed is nursing, which proved to be this nursing home's worst area. Sadly, it received an F for this area, which is certainly a major disappointment. We assessed the levels of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses worked with residents, in calculating our rating in this category. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
