Facility Inspections
While we gave this nursing home a poor overall rating, we gave it a somewhat respectable score in the area of inspections, where we gave it a grade of B-. This was certainly better than its other categories. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Another area of concern is that CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is not a bad score. In calculating our nursing ratings, we assess both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a somewhat alarming figure as it is well below the national average. Finally, while this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this metric.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's third highest area turned out to be its short-term care grade, where it was given a B-. Our short-term care grades are critical for people looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. In fact, it supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we considered the number of residents that returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our final area, this facility really did not fare very well in this category either. With a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this is really as terrible as it gets. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated 27.522936 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be significantly less than average. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
