Although this facility's overall grade is not a highlight, it received a slightly more favorable grade in the area of inspections. We awarded it a B- for that area, which is not bad. Our inspection scores are based on many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. In addition to having severe deficiencies, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Our nursing rating is largely tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is well below average. Lastly, nursing scores also consider quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses to assist its patients.

In calculating our short-term care scores, we assess a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This score is considered to be a fair measure of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. We were surprised to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed was long-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in that category. This is a decent grade in this area. For prospective patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 82.7957 percent of its residents. This is pretty significantly lower than average. Nevertheless, this nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
