Facility Inspections
While we did not have many positive things to say about this facility's overall grade, it earned a respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in this area with a B-. Inspection grades are based on many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, 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.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. Our nursing score is primarily associated with a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat discouraging figure as it is well below the national average. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally an indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality
The third category we assessed is long-term care, where this nursing home received a grade of B- in this category. In calculating our long-term care ratings, we assess the assistance with daily living received by the facility's residents. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinates 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed was short-term care, which was a weak spot for this facility. We awarded this nursing home a D for short-term care. In determining our short-term care scores, we size up a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This area is generally a meaningful assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. Given its score in this area, we were not surprised to discover that this facility is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the data we assessed. Honestly, this was what we expected to find. The last measure we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics sunk this nursing home's short-term care grade.
