This nursing home's best category grade came in our short-term care rating. In that area, we awarded this place a grade of B+. Our short-term care ratings are important for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We weren't able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The final metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

This facility's second best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our nursing grade is mostly associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls.

Facility Inspections
This nursing home also received a decent inspection grade. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. This place had 7 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were in categories J through L. This indicates the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to put patient health or safety in imminent harm or jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we scored is long-term care, which proved to be a low point for this nursing home. We awarded this nursing home a D for our long-term care category. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.21568 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
