Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Even though we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall grade, it did receive a respectable nursing grade of B-. Nursing ratings are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, nursing grades also consider quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses to assist its residents.
Short-term Care Quality
The next highest category we awarded this facility in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. In computing our short-term care ratings, we size up a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This rating is considered to be a useful measure of the facility's rehabilitation. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 6.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below average.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable area is long-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is essentially a middle of the pack grade in this area. In a long-term care environment, the primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the vaccine to 99.7996 percent of its residents, which is a very solid figure. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Facility Inspections
In the final category of inspections, this nursing home really did not fare well. It received an F in our inspection rating. This happens to be the most heavily weighted category in our overall scoring system. When a place has this poor of an inspection score, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This facility had 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a threat 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.
