Facility Inspections
Although this facility's overall score was not a highlight, it received a somewhat respectable score in the category of inspections. We awarded it a B- for this area, which is a decent score. We believe that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. This place was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an B-. In determining our nursing scores, we assess both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is significantly below average. Lastly, nursing ratings also consider quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

In the area of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation services.

Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at is long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a C in that category. In computing our long-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's personal care services. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 96.22642 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes.
