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 ratings weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. Another area of concern is that 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.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also didn't rate terribly in the category of long-term care. In fact, we awarded it a C in that area, which is among its more respectable grades. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. Once we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 73.83177 percent of its patients for pneumonia. On a more positive note, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Our next category we assessed is short-term care, in which this nursing home was given an F. Our short-term care scores are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 5.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
Nurse Quality
Turning to our final category, this facility did not fare well in this category either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in nursing, this is about as as uninspiring as it gets. Nursing scores are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This facility offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is well below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This place performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
