Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we gave it a grade of B- for our inspections rating. This score is more respectable than this place's overall grade. Inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, 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
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. Nursing grades are primarily based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is significantly below the national average. Finally, although this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality
The third area we analyzed is short-term care, where this facility was given a grade of B- in this category. In crafting our short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 4.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Our final category is long-term care, where we gave this facility a grade of B- in that category. In forming these long-term care scores, we analyze the facility's personal care services. One of the factors we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
