Facility Inspections
Although this nursing home's overall grade is not a highlight, it received a somewhat respectable grade in the area of inspections. We awarded it a B- for this area, which is not bad. Inspection grades are tied to datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. Unfortunately, it does not appear that we were able to find information on deficiency's 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-. Our nursing grade is primarily based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. 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 place surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality
The third category we assessed was short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to create a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The question is whether this adversely impacted quality of care. The last metric we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the last area, this facility received a decent long-term care score of B-. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 67.0157 percent of its patients for pneumonia. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
