Facility Inspections
While we gave this nursing home a bad overall grade, we actually gave it a fairly respectable grade in the category of inspections, where we gave it a grade of B-. This was better than its other categories. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility was given its second best category score in the area of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of B- in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable grade. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 6.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded its next most favorable category grade in the category of long-term care. We gave this facility a grade of C in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable score. Long-term care scores are based on a facility's quantity of care. This includes a vast spectrum of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 91.935486 percent of its residents. This is a few points less than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
The last area we scored is nursing, which is a weak link for this nursing home. We awarded this nursing home a D in the area of nursing. When determining our nursing scores, we assess both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This place fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
