Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. 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.
Nurse Quality
Remarkably, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B- for our nursing rating, which isn't a bad grade. Our nursing grade is mostly tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the number of hours of care provided.

Short-term Care Quality
Surprisingly, we gave this facility a grade of B- for our short-term care grade, which is not too bad of a score. Our short-term care scores are considered to be most important for folks in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. The hope is that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at was long-term care. It received an F in this area, which is an abysmal score. Facilities that do not fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 92.71523 percent of its patients. This is a bit lower than we were hoping for but still a decent figure. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
