Facility Inspections
Although we gave this place a poor overall score, we gave it a fairly respectable grade in the category of inspections, where we gave it a B-. This was certainly better than its other categories. Inspection grades are based on several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. 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
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is not a bad score. Our nursing score is largely tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed is short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B-. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. The facility offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Our last area is long-term care, where we awarded this nursing home a B- in this category. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 97.2028 percent of its residents. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
