Facility Inspections
Although we did not have many favorable things to say about this nursing home's overall grade, it did receive a somewhat respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent score in this area with a score of B-. We believe that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. We were not able to locate deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. The nursing grade consists of several datapoints, most of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a somewhat alarming figure which is well below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's third best area was its short-term care grade, where it received a B-. With our short-term care category, we strive to forge a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at the nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. The facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is still important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we scored is long-term care. We gave it a B- in that area. This is not a bad grade in this area. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinated 98.16514 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
