Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident 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.
Long-term Care Quality
Surprisingly, we gave this facility a B- for its long-term care grade, which is not a bad grade. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with levels of nurse staffing. With a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were far below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our next category, this nursing home really didn't fare well here either. With a poor grade of F in short-term care, this is really as terrible as it gets. With our short-term care category, we endeavor to craft a fair gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Based on its score in this area, we were not surprised to learn that this place was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
