Facility Inspections
Although we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a B- for our inspections rating. This grade is more respectable than the facility's overall score. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
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. In computing a facility's nursing rating, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are with residents as well as the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure as it is well below average. Finally, while this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did very well in this subcategory.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable category was short-term care. We awarded it a B- in this category. This is basically a slightly below average grade in this area. Short-term care grades are generally employed to judge a facility's rehabilitation services To have good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. We were surprised to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. The facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is still important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our next area, this facility received a B- in long-term care, which is a decent score. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 99.50249 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. This facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
