Facility Inspections
While we gave this facility a poor overall grade, we actually gave it a fairly respectable grade in the category of inspections, where it received a B-. This was better than its other categories. Inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. Another red flag is that CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is not a bad score. Our nursing grade is primarily associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This place provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. While this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared well in this metric. This can be an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of moving patients even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility was given its third highest category score in the area of short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable grade. In our short-term care assessment, we seek to create a sound gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The more important thing is determining what effect this had on the quality of care. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Our last category is long-term care, in which we awarded this facility a B- in this category. In the area of long-term care, we focus on the quantity of care provided by a nursing home, rather than more medically-intensive services. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to only 85.177864 percent of its residents, which is not a very encouraging sign. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
