Sporting an overall grade of D, this is a subpar nursing home. Based on our assessment, this facility may not be the best fit for most prospective residents. If you aren't deterred by this nursing home's profile, you can continue reading to learn more about its category grades. We discuss inspections in the next section.

Although we didn't grade this nursing home favorably overall, we did give it an excellent score in the category of inspections, where it earned an A. Inspection ratings are based on many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies associated with risks to resident well being. Fortunately, although this facility 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 CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

The second best category we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We found that this facility provided the vaccine to only 82.520805 percent of its residents, which is a bit of a concern. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

The third category we assessed was short-term care, in which this facility received an F. With our short-term care grade, we strive to forge a fair gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, we learned that this facility offers fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 26.9 percent of its residents returning home.

The last area we rated was nursing, where this nursing home was given a very poor grade in this area also. It received an F for this area, which is obviously a major disappointment. Our nursing rating weighs a handful of subcategories, most of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This place provided just 2.1 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is an alarmingly low total. Unfortunately, this place also had abysmal scores in some of the quality-based measures to go along with its low nursing hours. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and we were very disappointed. This place was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this measure.
