Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. Our nursing grade is largely associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures. While this place got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did well in this area. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a system of moving a resident more often.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we analyzed was short-term care, which was a weak spot for this facility. We awarded this nursing home a D in the area of short-term care. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. With a grade of this caliber for this category, we were not stunned to discover that this facility was below average in multiple staffing areas we focus on. The nursing home supplied significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
