Facility Inspections
The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our higher scores in that category, with a grade of A. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are 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 of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this facility's higher category scores came in the category of short-term care. This turned out to be its second most favorable category. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. Our short-term care grades are critical for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The hope is that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing rating. In fact, we gave this nursing home an D. Nursing ratings are largely based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averaged only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's worst category is long-term care, which is the final category we analyzed. We gave it an abysmal F for this category. Even with multiple decent scores in other areas, this score is still of a concern so we would like to to point it out. When facilities receive this type of grade in this category it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the place is not as well-staffed. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this facility administered the vaccine to a relatively low 58.55263 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best feature in this category.
