Facility Inspections
While we did not rate this nursing home well overall, we wanted to note its decent inspections in recent years. We gave it a relatively respectable score of B- in this area. Our inspection grades are tied to many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. It doesn't look like we have information about this nursing home's deficiencies. 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 awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. In computing a facility's nursing score, we assess the quantity of hours nurses are caring for patients and the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, although this place got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this subcategory.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best area is its short-term care score, where it was given a grade of B-. With our short-term care grade, we attempt to forge a fair gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at is long-term care. We gave it a B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Our long-term care ratings are more meaningful for residents requiring more traditional services associated with activities of daily living. One of the data points we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
