Although this facility's overall score is not a highlight, it received a somewhat respectable score in the category of inspections. We awarded it a B- for that category, which is not bad. We believe that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent 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.

This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is not a bad score. Nursing grades are mostly tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This figure is significantly below average. Lastly, while this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this subcategory.

We also awarded this facility a middle of the road score in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a B-. With our long-term care category, we analyze the sheer quantity of services offered by a nursing home, as well as a handful of quality datapoints. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Switching gears to our fourth area, this facility received an acceptable short-term care score of C. In crafting our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its level of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.
