Facility Inspections
B-
Historical
While we gave this facility a bad overall rating, we awarded it a somewhat respectable grade in the area of inspections, where it received a B-. This was certainly better than its other categories. We believe that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
Nurse Quality
B-
Historical
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 ratings are primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provides 4.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is better than average. In determining our grades, we apply more weight to hours performed by more highly trained nurses such as registered or licensed nurses. Lastly, we also factored a few quality measures into our nursing grades. This nursing home was relatively weak in some of the datapoints we look at, with subpar scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are often good indicators of the quality of nursing care offered.

Short-term Care Quality
B-
Historical
This nursing home's third best area ended up being short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B-. In forming these short-term care grades, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that it performed well in this area with 62.2 percent of its patients returning home. This proved to be a big boost to its grade in this category.
Long-term Care Quality
C
Historical
The next category we analyzed is long-term care. For that category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. This facility's vaccination statistics weren't as strong as its nursing hours. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 85.753426 percent of its residents. We would like to see some improvement herein this statistic in the future. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.24 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
