Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent 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.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also didn't grade out poorly in the area of long-term care. In fact, we gave it a B- in that area, which turned out to be among its higher scores. Our long-term care grades are pivotal for residents looking for non-healthcare services such as personal care.

Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our final category, this facility really didn't perform well in this category either. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in short-term care, this is really as terrible as it gets. In our short-term care category, we endeavor to craft a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at the facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Based on its score in this category, we were not stunned to discover that this place is well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of patients who returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3 percent of its residents returning home.
