Facility Inspections
While we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively favorable health inspections in recent years. We gave it a B+ in this area, which is much better than its overall score. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's short-term care score turns out to be one of its best features. The nursing home was given a grade of C in this category. Short-term care grades are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech 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. Finally, we considered the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well below average.

The last category we graded is long-term care, in which this facility was given a poor grade in this area as well. Sadly, it received an F for this category, which is definitely a major disappointment. Nursing homes that don't fare well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were disappointed to learn that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 84.03756 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
