Facility Inspections
While we didn't give this nursing home a good overall grade, we actually gave it a strong grade in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of B+. Inspection ratings are tied to several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes with severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this nursing home's more respectable category scores was in the area of short-term care. This ended up being its second most respectable category. In that category, we gave this nursing home a C. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To have highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to offer higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below the national average.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. The nursing rating consists of many subcategories, but the most important one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally an indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we rated is long-term care. It received a lowly F in this category, which is an abysmal grade. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it generally means the nursing home did not perform well in our measures relating to patient care. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated 66.43356 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is several points less than average. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best score in this category.
