Facility Inspections
B-
Historical
While we gave this place a poor overall rating, we actually gave it a fairly respectable grade in the category of inspections, where we gave it a B-. This was quite a bit better than its other categories. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. 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, 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
B-
Historical
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home an B-. In calculating a nursing home's nursing score, we look at the number of hours nurses are caring for residents as well as the skill levels of those nurses. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also include quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed above average in this area.

Long-term Care Quality
B-
Historical
The next area we assessed is long-term care, where this facility was given a grade of B- in this area. Long-term care grades assess a facility's assistance with daily living rather than the highly skilled nursing and medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the vaccine to 99.6408 percent of its residents, which is an above average percentage. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 1.08 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a much lower hospitalization rate than the average nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
D
Historical
The last category we scored is short-term care, which proved to be this facility's worst category. We awarded this nursing home a D in that area. With our short-term care category, we strive to create a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Considering its weak grade in this area, we weren't shocked to discover that this nursing home offered substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 41.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
