Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this facility well overall, we want to point out its decent government inspections in recent years. We awarded it a somewhat respectable score of B- in that category. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient 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
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 primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a place has quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received its next highest category grade in the area of short-term care. We gave this facility a B- in this area, which is a respectable score. With our short-term care rating, we try to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we scored is long-term care. In this category, we gave this facility a grade of B-. Long-term care grades are typically used to grade a facility's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. After considering the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 90.86162 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
