Nurse Quality
While we gave this nursing home a poor overall grade, we gave it a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a B-. This was certainly better than its other category grades. In determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we assess the number of hours nurses spend with residents as well as the skill levels of the nurses. This facility averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is not an impressive total. Finally, while this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's next highest area was its short-term care grade, where it was awarded a B-. Short-term care grades are often used to judge a facility's rehabilitation services. To offer high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well below average.

Facility Inspections
This nursing home earned mediocre government inspections in recent years. We awarded them a C in this category. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 6 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were category G through L deficiencies. This tells you CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. 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.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's worst area is long-term care, which is the last category we looked at. In this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is better than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this facility also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
