Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a B- for inspections. This score is better than this facility's overall grade. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to patient safety or health. 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.
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. Our nursing rating is primarily associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is significantly below average. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses to assist its residents.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third best area came in the area of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. Our long-term care ratings are more important for individuals requiring more traditional assistance associated with personal care. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we scored was short-term care. We gave this facility a C in that area. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. Finally, we assessed the number of patients that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 4.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well below average.
