Facility Inspections
This nursing home earned an inspection score which is stronger than its overall grade. Inspection scores are tied to the nursing home's recent inspections. We awarded this facility a very solid grade of B+ in this area. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place received 10 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong grade in our nursing category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B in this area. Our nursing score is primarily tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality
This facilities next best area is long-term care. We awarded it a C in this area. This is basically a middle of the road score in this area. Our long-term care grade focuses on a facility's assistance with daily living rather than the highly skilled nursing and medical services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. We were disappointed to learn that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 75.89576 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our next category, we gave this nursing home a D for the area of short-term care. This was the facility's least impressive category score. Our short-term care scores are probably most meaningful for those in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Considering its weak score in this category, we were not surprised to discover this place offers far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
