Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a B- for inspections. This grade is more respectable than the facility's overall score. We would argue that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Nursing grades are largely associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This place provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a low total compared with most other facilities. Finally, our nursing grades also consider quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a solid grade in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are presumably most critical for people in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its level of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The critical question is whether this also affected quality of care. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we graded was long-term care. This nursing home received a poor grade of F in that area. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. We were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated 79.710144 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be quite a bit lower than what we were hoping for. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
