Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a B- for inspections. This grade is better than the facility's overall score. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient 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.
Nurse Quality
We also want to point out that this facility received a decent grade in our nursing category. We awarded it a grade of B- in the area. Our nursing grade is mostly based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this statistic. This can be a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a policy of moving a resident at least once a day.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's next highest area ended up being its short-term care score, where it received a B-. Short-term care grades are crucial for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional skilled nursing services. This means a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
Our final category is long-term care, where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C in that area. Long-term care grades are based on the nursing home's volume of nursing care. This includes a vast range of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this facility administered the vaccine to only 66.36363 percent of its residents. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
