Facility Inspections
While this nursing home earned a decent overall rating, its inspections score is notably better than its overall score. Due to a strong government inspection report this year, it earned a strong score in that category with a B+. Inspection ratings are tied to many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This nursing home was hit with 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
Another one of this nursing home's stronger areas was in the category of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B+. Our nursing grade is largely associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place 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 often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality
The third area we analyzed is long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. In our long-term care assessment, we weigh the volume of care offered by a facility, along with a series of qualitative statistics. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated 88.75969 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be quite a few points lower than the national average. Nevertheless, this facility excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we scored is short-term care, is this nursing home's worst area. We awarded this nursing home a D in that area. This is one of the few dings on an otherwise strong report card. Short-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we considered the number of patients who eventually returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
