Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Although we did not rate this facility well overall, we want to point out its decent grade of B- in the category of nursing. Our nursing grade includes several datapoints. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is significantly below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it scored well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The second highest category we awarded this facility in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Short-term care grades are generally employed to gauge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to have quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The last measure we considered in this area is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third highest area ended up being long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B-. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 93.90863 percent of its patients, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Facility Inspections
Moving on the last category of government inspections, we gave this nursing home a C for this category. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were category G through L deficiencies. This indicates that it dodged the more significant categories of deficiencies. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
