Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually received a somewhat respectable grade in the category of inspections. We awarded it a grade of B- for that area, which is a decent score. Our inspection scores are tied to many 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 threat to resident safety. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. Nursing ratings are largely tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. It scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality
The third area we looked at is short-term care, where this facility received a B- in this area. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to measure a facility's performance with rehabilitation To have highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. It offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed was long-term care. This nursing home was given a B- in this area. In calculating these long-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's personal care services. One of the data points we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 92.73743 percent of its residents. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
