While we were not high on this facility overall, we gave it a grade of B- for our inspections rating. This score is more respectable than this facility's overall score. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.

We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Nursing scores are mostly tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures. While this nursing home got docked a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of these quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared well in this area. This can be an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a system of moving a resident even once per day.

This facility's next most favorable area ended up being its short-term care grade, where it received a B-. In the area of short-term care, we try to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the number of patients that returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

The next area we scored is long-term care. We awarded it a B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Long-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of nursing care. This means a vast spectrum of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. One of the data points we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
