Facility Inspections
B-
Historical
Although we gave this place a bad overall score, we actually gave it a fairly respectable score in the category of inspections, where we gave it a B-. This was quite a bit better than its other categories. Our inspection scores account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. 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.
Long-term Care Quality
B-
Historical
The second most favorable category we gave this nursing home in any category came in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a B-. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is higher than most nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.61 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home.

Nurse Quality
C
Historical
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. There are a host of datapoints within this category. Most of the criteria reflect staffing levels. This nursing home provides 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also considered some quality-based measures. This facility scored well in a few of the quality measures we looked at. In terms of the percentage of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this nursing home outpaced the national average.
Short-term Care Quality
D
Historical
The next area we assessed was short-term care, which ended up being this nursing home's least impressive category. We awarded this nursing home a D in this area. Our short-term care grade is often used to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To have high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Based on its abysmal grade in this category, we were not surprised to discover that this facility offers far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 37.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
