Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home well overall, we want to point out its decent government inspection reports in recent years. We gave it a somewhat respectable score of B- in that category. We believe that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Nurse Quality
We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B-. Nursing grades are primarily based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the number of hours of care provided.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third highest category came in the area of short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B-. Our short-term care ratings are arguably most critical for folks requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. We found that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The final measure we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our fourth area, this nursing home was given a respectable long-term care grade of C. Our long-term care grade assesses a facility's personal care rather than the skilled therapy and healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home gave the vaccine to just 39.63964 percent of its residents. 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 an impressively low figure.
