Facility Inspections
While this place's overall score is not a highlight, it received a somewhat respectable grade in the area of inspections. We awarded it a B- for this category, which is not bad. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
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 is primarily associated with a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a low total compared with most facilities. Lastly, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. While this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this area. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a policy of turning residents more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third most favorable category is short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are probably most meaningful for individuals requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The more important thing is determining what effect this had on quality of care. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the last category, this facility was given an acceptable long-term care grade of B-. Our long-term care grades are more important for people needing more traditional assistance related to personal care. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
