Nurse Quality
Although we did not rate this facility well overall, we want to point out its decent grade of B- in the category of nursing. We scrutinized the qualifications of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses spent with patients, in calculating our score in this category. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which is well below average. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
This facilities next most favorable category was short-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is essentially a middle of the road grade in this area. In calculating our short-term care grades, we size up a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This area is considered to be a solid measure of the facility's rehabilitation services. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. It provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final measure we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
The next category we graded is long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. Long-term care grades assess a nursing home's assistance with daily living instead of the highly skilled therapy and healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to only 69.71609 percent of its residents. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Facility Inspections
Turning to the final area of health inspections, we gave this nursing home a grade of C for our inspection category. We would argue that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. This place was assessed 5 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were in categories G through L. This means it dodged the more significant categories of deficiencies. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
