Facility Inspections
It should be noted that this facility's inspection score outpaced its overall grade. We awarded it a B+ for its inspections grade, which is a very solid score. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category typically have few severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily something to panic about.
Nurse Quality
In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our nursing category. This is one of our better grades. The nursing score includes many factors, many of which are based on nursing hours. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third most favorable category ended up being short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. It doesn't look like this nursing home submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The last item we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we scored was long-term care. We awarded it a C in this area. This is a fair grade in this area. Our long-term care grades are more important for folks needing more traditional services associated with personal care. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 98.2684 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
