Facility Inspections
While we gave this place a weak overall score, we awarded 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. We believe that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. This place was hit with 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident health or safety. 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.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Nursing grades are largely associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat discouraging figure as it is well below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best category is short-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is essentially a slightly below average grade in this category. Our short-term care grades are probably most critical for individuals requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The critical question is whether this also affected quality of care. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we scored is long-term care, which turned out to be this nursing home's least impressive category. We awarded this facility a D in this category. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.32402 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
