While this facility earned a decent overall score, its inspections grade is notably more impressive than its overall score. Due to a strong government inspection report this year, it received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B+. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

With just 1.12 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
The final area we looked at is nursing, which turned out to be this nursing home's worst area. We gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is certainly a major disappointment. The nursing rating is based on many subcategories, however, the most important consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. On top of its subpar nursing hour totals, this place earned suboptimal marks in some of the quality-based measures we considered in calculating our nursing grades. We found that more of this place's residents suffered falls which led to serious injury. We believe that many falls could likely be prevented with better nursing care. This metric contributed to this place receiving a poor nursing score.
