Facility Inspections
B-
Historical
While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection ratings are based on several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to resident health or safety. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.

B-
Historical

For residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 98.993286 percent of its residents, which is more than most nursing homes. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes.

Short-term Care Quality
D
Historical
As it turns out, this nursing home only earned a D for its short-term care score, which is not an impressive grade. Short-term care grades are often employed to gauge a nursing home's rehabilitation services To offer highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature better levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. In this nursing home's case, it looks like it offers less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 47.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
F
Historical
Turning to our next category, this facility really didn't fare well in this category either. With a poor grade of F in nursing, this is just about as as uninspiring as it gets. There are several data points included in this grade. Most of the factors are tied to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This facility provided a meager 2.9 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Lastly, we also looked at some quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This facility was above average in two of the major areas we focus on, with good scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These metrics are typically good measures of the quality of nursing care available.
