Facility Inspections
Although this nursing home's overall grade is not a highlight, it received a somewhat respectable score in the category of inspections. We awarded it a grade of B- for this category, which is a decent score. We believe that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's next highest category turned out to be short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most critical for folks needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually requires more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The final item we considered in this area is the number of patients that returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Our nursing score features numerous subcategories. The most important factor is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we scored was long-term care, which proved to be this nursing home's least impressive area. We awarded this facility a D in that area. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means the facility didn't perform well in our measures relating to patient care. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. We were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated just 79.34426 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
