Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While we did not rate this nursing home well overall, we want to note its decent government inspection reports in recent years. We gave it a somewhat respectable score of B- in that area. We would argue that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to be an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. Our nursing grade is primarily associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. 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. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third most favorable category turned out to be its short-term care score, where it was given a B-. With our short-term care rating, we attempt to craft a sound gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The final measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we scored was long-term care. For this category, we awarded this facility a grade of B-. Long-term care grades are based in part on the facility's amount of care. This means a vast range of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. After we finished assessing the amount of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 99.5086 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
