Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of A+. Few facilities performed better in this area. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines.

Nurse Quality
Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of D. Our nursing grade looks at the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these datapoints to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we scored is short-term care, which turned out to be this facility's weakest area. Sadly, it received an F in this area, which is obviously concerning. In the area of short-term care, we seek to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. In this place's case, it looks like it provides fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
