Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
While we didn't rate this facility well overall, we want to point out its decent grade of B- in nursing. The nursing score weighs a handful of components, but the most important one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The second best area we gave this facility in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next most favorable category was long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B-. In the category of long-term care, we focus on the quantity of services provided by a nursing home, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Facility Inspections
The final area we looked at is inspections. Inspection ratings are based on a nursing home's recent government inspection reports. This nursing home received a grade of C in this category. Our inspection ratings are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a 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.
