Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a B- for inspections. This score is better than this facility's overall grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. We weren't able to track down information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our nursing grade features numerous datapoints. The most heavily weighted one is the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is far below average. Finally, although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did very well in this metric.

Short-term Care Quality
This facilities next most favorable area was short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this category. This is essentially a middle of the pack grade in this area. In our short-term care rating, we strive to create a valuable measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 7 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 next category we analyzed is long-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in that category. This is a perfectly acceptable grade in this category. Long-term care grades are vital for individuals needing non-healthcare services such as personal care. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
