Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to draw your attention to its excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Our 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. You should especially avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. This facility was hit with 10 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. Nursing ratings are largely based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is significantly below average. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best area is long-term care. We awarded it a C in this category. This is essentially a slightly below average score in this area. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 99.08884 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed was short-term care. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this category, which is an abysmal score. In the category of short-term care, we seek to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. With its grade in this area, we were not surprised to find that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the measures we assessed. Frankly, this was what we expected here. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 3.4 percent of its patients returning home.
