Facility Inspections
Grade: B-minus
While we did not have many positive things to say about this place's overall grade, it earned a somewhat respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent score in this category with a B-. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. 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
Grade: B-minus
We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing rating is mostly tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality
Grade: B-minus
We also awarded this nursing home a respectable grade in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. In our short-term care grade, we seek to create a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a facility'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 registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 5.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Grade: B-minus
Switching gears to the last area, this facility was awarded an acceptable long-term care grade of B-. In our long-term care assessment, we assess the sheer quantity of services provided by a nursing home, as well as some quality measures. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 98.447205 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
