We gave this nursing home a C for the category of inspections. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports.

This generally tells you that the government inspectors identified a deficiency which placed resident health or safety in imminent jeopardy. On top of having severe deficiencies, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

This nursing home's third best category was its long-term care grade, where it was given a grade of C. Our long-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of nursing care. This means a vast spectrum of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services.

Thankfully, this facility administered the vaccine to 94.98328 percent of its patients, which is an above average percentage. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Moving on to the last area, this facility was awarded a respectable short-term care score of C. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we scrutinize a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This rating is often a reliable assessment of a facility's rehabilitation services. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. It offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. It is important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The final item we considered in this category is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
