Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to draw your attention to its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A+ in this category. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid nursing homes with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facilities second most favorable category was long-term care. We gave it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a slightly below average grade in this area. Our long-term care grades are more critical for residents requiring more traditional assistance related to activities of daily living. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 99.1573 percent of its residents, which is better than most nursing homes. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of skill of the nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This facility offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we scored is short-term care, where this nursing home was given a bottom of the barrel score in this category also. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this category, which is definitely a major concern. In determining our short-term care ratings, we scrutinize the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is considered to be a meaningful assessment of a facility's rehabilitation services. Based on its abysmal score in this category, we weren't shocked to learn that this place provides significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.1 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.
