Facility Inspections
While we did not rate this place favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively favorable government inspections in recent years. We gave it a B in this area, which is much better than its overall grade. Inspection grades are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid nursing homes with severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
This facilities second best area was long-term care. We awarded it a B- in this area. This is essentially a slightly below average score in this category. With our long-term care assessment, we assess the sheer quantity of services provided by a nursing home, along with some quality statistics. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. We were disappointed to learn that this facility vaccinated just 43.715843 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next highest category ended up being its short-term care score, where it was awarded a C. Short-term care scores are important for prospective residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more skilled nursing services. This means a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The real question is whether this adversely affected quality of care. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to the next category, we awarded this facility a D for the area of nursing. This was the nursing home's worst category grade. We assessed the levels of nurses at the facility, as well as the quantity of time the nurses spent with residents, in determining our rating in this area. This place offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is not a very impressive figure. To pair with its below average totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this facility had bad scores in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing falls which led to serious injury. This facility was at more than 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
