Facility Inspections
B-
Historical
Although we gave this facility a weak overall grade, we awarded it a somewhat respectable grade in the category of inspections, where we gave it a B-. This was certainly better than its other categories. Inspection grades are based on many datapoints 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 risk to patient safety. While this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS 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
B-
Historical
We also want to point out that this facility received a decent grade in our nursing category. We awarded it a grade of B- in the area. Our nursing rating is largely tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, we also baked a few quality measures into our nursing grades. This facility was subpar in a few of the major areas we look at, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are typically decent measures of the quality of nursing care provided.

B-
Historical
The third best category we awarded this nursing home in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to provide quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. It performed decently in this area, with 47.6 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
B-

The next category we assessed was long-term care. For that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B-. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 98.02197 percent of its residents. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this place had 2.28 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure was less favorable than its other scores in the long-term care area.
