Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its excellent inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better grades in that category, with an A. This is a much better score than the facility's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 10 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A few relatively minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's long-term care rating is one of its best grades. The facility was given a B- in this area. Long-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's volume of nursing services. This means a broad range of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine medical services. After we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinates 99.50739 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. Our nursing grade is primarily associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This particular facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is far below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures. Although this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared well in this metric. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a policy of moving a patient even once per day.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we rated is short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a D for short-term care, leaving this as the nursing home's worst area. In the category of short-term care, we seek to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. It appears that this place was subpar in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we looked at. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
