To go along with its decent overall grade, we gave this nursing home an A- for its inspection grade. This is far better than the facility's overall rating. Inspection ratings are based on pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

This facility was given its next best category score in the category of long-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of B- in this area, which is a respectable grade. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinated 99.66102 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing grade. In fact, we gave this facility a score of D. The nursing score is based on numerous factors. The most important factor is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. With just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were significantly below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

The next area we rated is short-term care. We gave it a lowly F in this category, which is an abysmal grade. This is clearly a significant concern. With our short-term care category, we try to create a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this place offers substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. The last item we considered in this category is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.2 percent of its residents returning home.
