Facility Inspections
B-
Historical
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. We believe that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Long-term Care Quality
B-
Historical
This facility also didn't grade out too badly in the category of long-term care. In fact, we gave it a grade of B- for that area, which wound up being another one of its more favorable scores. Long-term care grades are commonly used to score a facility's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable figure. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 1.31 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.

Historical
This nursing home also didn't perform terribly in the area of nursing. In fact, we awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is another one its better scores. Our nursing grade analyzes several factors, but the paramount consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed admirably in this statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
F
Historical
The last area we analyzed was short-term care. This facility received a rock bottom grade of F in this category. In computing our short-term care grades, we size up a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This score is more often than not a reliable measure of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Considering its grade in this category, we were not stunned to find that this facility is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the figures we looked at. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 30 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
