Facility Inspections
Although we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a B- for our inspections rating. This grade is better than the place's overall score. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. Our nursing score is mostly based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, while this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it did very well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's next best area was short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. With our short-term care category, we seek to create a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we rated was long-term care. For this category, we awarded this facility a B-. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary objective 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 patients. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 91.47541 percent of its residents. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
