Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home well overall, we want to note its decent health inspection reports in recent years. We gave it a relatively respectable score of B- in this area. Inspection ratings are based on several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to resident safety or health. 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
We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B-. Nursing scores are primarily tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is significantly below the national average. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a good indicator that a place has quality controls in place.

This facilities third best area is short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. This is essentially a slightly below average grade in this area. In the category of short-term care, we strive to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average facility. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 95.33898 percent of its residents. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
