Nursing scores are largely based on the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day.

We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also received a strong inspection score. Inspection grades are based on the facility's recent health inspections. We gave this nursing home a B in this area. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility received 11 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident safety or health. A couple relatively minor dings aren't the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality
The third category we assessed was long-term care, where this facility was given a grade of B- in this area. In determining these long-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's personal care services. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. This place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we graded was short-term care. We awarded this facility a B- in that category. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.
