Facility Inspections
Although we gave this nursing home a poor overall grade, we actually awarded it a somewhat respectable score in the area of inspections, where it received a B-. This was quite a bit better than its other categories. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a middle of the road score in the category of long-term care, with a grade of C. Our long-term care grade is used to assess a facility's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services offered by a skilled nursing facility. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the vaccine to 97.70492 percent of its residents, which is a very solid statistic. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. There are a number of factors within this grade. Most of these factors are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, although this place got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality measures. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this subcategory.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we scored was short-term care. This facility was given a grade of C for the category. Our short-term care scores are probably most critical for people needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We were surprised to find that this facility 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 looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
