Even though we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall score, it did receive a respectable nursing rating of B-. The nursing grade is based on many factors. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures. While this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in a few of these quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this statistic. This can be an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of turning residents at least once a day.

This nursing home was given its next best category score in the area of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of B- in this category, which is a decent score. In crafting these short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The more important thing is determining what bearing this had on the quality of care. The final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 6.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

We also gave this nursing home a middle of the pack score in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Our long-term care ratings are more important for residents needing more conventional assistance related to personal care. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is a very solid statistic. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Moving on our final category of inspections, this nursing home received an F here. For facilities with poor inspection grades, you should really focus on any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a threat to resident 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.
