Nurse Quality
B-
Historical
While we graded this nursing home very poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable nursing grade this year. We gave it a B- in this area. We looked at the skill-level of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of time those nurses spent with residents, in computing our rating in this category. This particular facility provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per patient per day. At least one quarter of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly trained nurses. This is a high ratio of skilled nursing care. We weight these hours more in computing our nursing scores. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these metrics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
B-
Historical
Incredibly, we gave this facility a B- for our short-term care rating, which really isn't too bad of a score. Short-term care grades are generally employed to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To provide good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to feature better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This facility excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It provided more care from registered nurses and physical therapists than the typical nursing home. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This place outperformed most facilities in this metric with 66.1 percent of its residents returning home.

Facility Inspections
F
Historical
Among this facility's alarming category grades was an F for its inspection grade. More often than not, this means we found some red flags on the facility's inspection reports. You should pay close attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection rating. We recommend you pay close attention to the severity of those deficiencies. This particular facility was hit with a category G through L deficiency, which are among the more serious deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies found by inspectors had the potential to cause actual harm to patients. On top of having severe deficiencies, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Long-term Care Quality
F
Historical
The last area we graded is long-term care, where this nursing home was given an abysmal grade in this area also. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this area, which is definitely somewhat alarming. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 97.5 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place also was not as bad as we expected at keeping its patients out of the hospital. While it had 1.92 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was not bad since it had more complex patients.
