Facility Inspections
Although we gave this nursing home a weak overall grade, we gave it a somewhat respectable grade in the category of inspections, where we gave it a B-. This was certainly better than its other categories. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Another red flag is that 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.
Long-term Care Quality
The second highest category we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In crafting these long-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. After we finished assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinated 99.711815 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This place keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
The third highest category we gave this nursing home in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a C. Our short-term care grades are presumably more meaningful for individuals in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. It provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 4.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the last category, we gave this facility a D in our nursing category. This is the nursing home's weakest category grade. The nursing grade is based on a handful of data points, however, the main consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This place averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This place fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
