Facility Inspections
Although we gave this place a weak overall score, we gave it a fairly respectable grade in the area of inspections, where it received a B-. This was certainly better than its other category grades. Our inspection scores are based on several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Our nursing rating is largely associated with a facility's nurse staffing. 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. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the number of hours of care provided.

Short-term Care Quality
This facilities next best area was short-term care. We awarded it a C in this category. This is essentially a middle of the road score in this category. Short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical facility. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was long-term care. We awarded it a C in this area. This is not a bad grade in this category. Our long-term care grade is used to measure a nursing home's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services provided by a rehabilitation facility. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
