Short-term Care Quality
This facility received a short-term care score which is stronger than its overall score. We awarded this nursing home a B+ in this area. This really helped its overall profile. In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

We also wanted to point out that this nursing home earned an impressive grade of B in the category of nursing. Our nursing rating is largely based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas.

Facility Inspections
It should also be noted that this facility's inspection score was strong as well. In fact, we awarded it a B for its inspection reports, which is one of our better scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be relatively minor. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the last category, this nursing home didn't perform very well. With an abysmal grade of F in long-term care, this was its weakest grade. Facilities that don't score well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 92.98245 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
