Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score is not a highlight, it actually received a slightly more favorable score in the area of inspections. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is a decent score. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. 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.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a middle of the pack grade in the area of short-term care, with a grade of B-. In computing our short-term care grades, we look at a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This rating is more often than not a fair assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. 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. The hope is always that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. We scrutinized the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses worked with patients, in computing our score in this category. This place provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a low total compared with most other nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. While this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this subcategory. This can be an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a policy of turning patients more often.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the next category, we gave this facility a grade of D in the area of long-term care. This was the facility's weakest category score. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the vaccine to 99.42693 percent of its residents, which is an above average figure. Surprisingly, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
