Facility Inspections
The main reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher scores in that category, with an A-. This is a much better grade than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's long-term care rating appears to be one of its more favorable grades. The facility was awarded a B- in this area. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After we finished assessing the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated only 82.0059 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this place excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. We assessed the qualifications of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses were with residents, in computing our score in this category. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care provided.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed was short-term care. We gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is a rock bottom grade. This is certainly a significant disappointment. In calculating our short-term care scores, we size up a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This category is often a solid measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this nursing home offers far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
