While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we gave it a B- for inspections. This grade is more respectable than this facility's overall score. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. We weren't able to locate deficiency counts for this nursing home. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we gave this nursing home an B-. In computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the number of hours nurses are with residents and the level of licensure of those nurses. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat alarming figure which is well below the national average. Finally, nursing scores also factor in quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

This nursing home's next most favorable category ended up being its short-term care grade, where it received a B-. In the category of short-term care, we try to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below average.

The final area we rated was long-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in that area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this area. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 64.51613 percent of its patients. This is several points less than the national average. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
