Facility Inspections
While we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall score, it earned a respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a B-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. 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.
Nurse Quality
We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B-. In calculating our nursing ratings, we assess both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term care grades are typically employed to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to provide highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we rated was long-term care. For this category, we awarded this facility a grade of B-. Long-term care ratings are critical for patients needing non-healthcare services such as personal care. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. Unfortunately, this nursing home vaccinated only 74.91962 percent of its patients against pneumonia. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations.
