Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a B- for inspections. This score is more respectable than this place's overall score. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. There are a number of subcategories included in this category. Many of these subcategories relate to staffing levels. This particular nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is far below the national average. Finally, although this nursing home got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did well in this statistic.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded its next most favorable category grade in the category of short-term care. We gave this facility a B- in this category, which is a decent grade. Short-term care grades are critical for prospective residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. In this place'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 last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 6.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
Our next category is long-term care, in which we awarded this nursing home a C in this category. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 93.63395 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is somewhat less than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Nevertheless, this nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
