Facility Inspections
Although we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a grade of B- for our inspections rating. This score is more respectable than the facility's overall grade. We believe that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident 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 graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In fact, nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this nursing home an B-. Our nursing score is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it scored well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

This area is frequently a meaningful assessment of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The tricky part is determining what bearing this had on quality of care. Finally, we assessed the number of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 4.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.

Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
