Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a B- for inspections. This grade is better than this place's overall score. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. 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.
Nurse Quality
We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing score looks at the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a low total compared with most nursing homes. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the number of hours of care provided.

Short-term Care Quality
The third category we assessed was short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B-. Short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The question is whether this also impacted quality of care. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed is long-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of B- in this category. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 98.96907 percent of its patients. This place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
