Facility Inspections
While we did not have many positive things to say about this place's overall grade, it did receive a somewhat respectable government inspection report this year. It received a decent score in that category with a B-. Our inspection scores weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. Our nursing score is primarily associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a relatively low total compared to most nursing homes. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's next best area is its short-term care grade, where it was awarded a B-. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Our final category is long-term care, where we awarded this facility a grade of B- in that category. Long-term care grades focus on a facility's personal care rather than the highly skilled nursing or medical services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. We were a bit worried that this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to a relatively low 70.37037 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
