Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively solid government inspections in recent years. We gave it a respectable grade of B in this area, which is much better than its overall score. Our inspection ratings are tied to several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies associated with risks to resident well being. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's short-term care score is one of its higher features. The nursing home was awarded a grade of B- in this category. Short-term care grades are typically employed to assess a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to have quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below average.

This facility offered only 0.6 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these datapoints to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the fourth category, we awarded this facility a grade of D for our long-term care category. This is the facility's worst category grade. For patients in need of a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 94.92386 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
