Facility Inspections
While this place's overall score is not a highlight, it received a slightly more favorable score in the category of inspections. We awarded it a B- for this area, which is not bad. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. 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 rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In fact, nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. When determining our nursing grades, we analyze both staffing levels and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provided just 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is significantly below the national average. Lastly, although this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed well in this metric.

Short-term Care Quality
This facilities third best area is short-term care. We gave it a B- in this area. This is basically a slightly below average grade in this category. Our short-term care grade is often employed to assess a nursing home's rehabilitation services To have highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. We found that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 3.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we scored is long-term care. This nursing home was awarded a grade of B- in the area. For patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. Unfortunately, this nursing home vaccinated just 76.43504 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
