Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade is not a highlight, it received a slightly more favorable grade in the category of inspections. We awarded it a grade of B- for that area, which is a decent score. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident health or safety. 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
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. The nursing score analyzes quite a few datapoints, many of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at was short-term care, where this nursing home was given a grade of B- in this category. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. In this nursing home'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 measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we rated was long-term care, where this facility was given an abysmal score here as well. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this area, which is definitely a major disappointment. When facilities receive this kind of score in long-term care it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 70.06802 percent of its residents. This is many points lower than what we expected. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
