Facility Inspections
While we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively solid inspections in recent years. We gave it a respectable grade of B in this category, which was much better than its overall score. Arguably the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid nursing homes that have too many deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate threat to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we gave this facility an C. When computing our nursing grades, we assess both staffing levels and the training levels of the nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second least favorable score was long-term care, where it received a grade of just D in that area. This is a relatively poor grade. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 92.22561 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is a few points lower than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the final category, this nursing home didn't fare very well in this area either. With an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is about as terrible as it gets. Our short-term care ratings are important for people in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. As you might expect, we discovered that this nursing home provides far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. The last measure we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4 percent of its patients returning home.
