Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility overall, we gave it a B- for inspections. This grade is more respectable than this place's overall grade. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient health or safety. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is not a bad score. Nursing scores are largely tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. It scored well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility received its third most favorable category score in the category of long-term care. We gave this nursing home a C in this category, which is a decent score. In the area of long-term care, we weigh the quantity of services provided by a facility, rather than more sophisticated services. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 99.082565 percent of its residents. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we rated was short-term care. We gave it a C in that area. This is a decent grade in this category. In forming our short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is still important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The final item we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
