Facility Inspections
While we did not rate this facility well overall, we would like to point out its decent government inspection reports in recent years. We gave it a relatively respectable grade of B- in this category. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. 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.

This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is not a bad score. Nursing grades are mostly based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a low total compared with most nursing homes. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third most favorable category was short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. This is basically a slightly below average score in this category. In the category of short-term care, we strive to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. We were surprised to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Our final area is long-term care, in which we awarded this facility a B- in this category. For prospective residents looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. One of the data points we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 99.32886 percent of its patients. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
