Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this facility favorably overall, we did give it an excellent grade in the area of inspections, where it received an A-. Our inspection grades weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid nursing homes with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second best area is its long-term care grade, where it received a grade of C. In computing our long-term care scores, we size up the personal care received by the nursing home's patients. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 82.31293 percent of its residents. This is pretty significantly less than average. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility only received a grade of D for its short-term care rating, which is not a score to write home about. In forming these short-term care grades, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to devise a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Considering its abysmal grade in this area, we weren't stunned to discover that this facility provides significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's least impressive category was nursing, which is the final category we assessed. For this area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of just D. We assessed the licensure of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses spent with residents, in calculating our score in this category. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this facility also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This place had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home.
