Facility Inspections
While this place's overall grade was not a highlight, it did receive a very good score in the area of inspections. In fact, we gave it a B+ for that area, which is one of our better grades. Inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid places with too many deficiencies flagged. This particular nursing home received 12 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.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second highest category was its short-term care score, where it was awarded a B-. Our short-term care grades are arguably more important for individuals requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. When computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we weigh the number of hours nurses commit to residents as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This particular facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is far below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it scored well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we graded is long-term care. It received an abysmal F for this area, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. For patients looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinated 94.666664 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place also keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
