Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score is not a highlight, it received a somewhat respectable score in the category of inspections. We awarded it a B- for that category, which is not bad. Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS didn't consider 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
We also want to point out that this facility received a decent grade in our nursing category. We awarded it a grade of B- in the area. There are several subcategories within this area. Most of the datapoints relate to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It scored well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.

Short-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was short-term care, where this nursing home was given a grade of B- in this area. Short-term care grades are generally employed to grade a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation In order to offer highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The more important thing is determining what effect this had on quality of care. The last metric we assessed in this category is the number of patients that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed was long-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is a perfectly acceptable grade in this area. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 98.888885 percent of its patients, which is more than most nursing homes. This facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
