Nurse Quality
This nursing home earned a nursing grade which is stronger than its overall score. We awarded this place an above average grade of B+ in this category. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
It should also be noted that this nursing home's inspection score was strong as well. We gave it a B for inspections, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category tend to have few severe deficiencies. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality
The third category we assessed was short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B. It actually outpaced most facilities in this area. Our short-term care ratings are important for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the final category, this nursing home really didn't perform very well. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in long-term care, this is its poorest grade. For patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
