Facility Inspections
On top of having a decent overall grade, we also would like to point out that this place earned favorable inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in this area, with a B+. This is a much better score than the nursing home's overall grade. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a strong long-term care grade. As a matter of fact, we gave them a B in that category, which is one of our more favorable scores. When facilities receive this type of score in this category it is typically a good sign for resident care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. After we finished assessing the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 94.73684 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly can be a life or death illness for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility does not leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. Our nursing rating is mostly tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This place provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a low total compared with most other nursing homes. Lastly, our nursing ratings also consider quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a good indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's weakest area is short-term care, which is the final category we scored. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this category. Despite several respectable grades in other areas, this score is nevertheless of a concern so we wanted to draw your attention to it. In our short-term care category, we strive to craft a fair measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Based on its grade in this area, we weren't stunned to learn that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the data we assessed. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who eventually returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
