It received a decent grade in this category with a B-. Inspection grades are tied to datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This particular nursing home received 2 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.

The second most favorable area we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In the category of short-term care, we try to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities.

Our long-term care scores are vital for people needing personal care. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated only 79.11585 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
The last category we rated is nursing, which proved to be a weak spot for this nursing home. We gave this nursing home a D for the area of nursing. Our nursing score includes many subcategories. The most heavily weighted factor is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This facility fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
