Facility Inspections
This nursing home's overall grade was propped up by the fact that it has earned favorable health inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that category, with a grade of B+. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall score. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we awarded this nursing home a B in our long-term care category. This happens to be one of our more impressive grades. Facilities that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 98.10964 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

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. Our nursing score looks at the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of skill of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is significantly below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed was short-term care, which ended up being this facility's weakest category. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this area, which is clearly a major disappointment. Our short-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Given its score in this area, we were not surprised to find that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the data we assessed. Finally, we considered the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
