Facility Inspections
It should also be noted that this nursing home's inspection grade outpaced its overall grade. We awarded it a B+ for its inspections rating, which is one of our better scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively insignificant. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Nurse Quality
The second highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. Nursing scores are largely based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure as it is well below the national average. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D for our short-term care grade. This is not an impressive grade. In the area of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's weakest area was long-term care, which is the last category we analyzed. In this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. After we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 95.79832 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
