Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third highest category is long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a C. In determining our long-term care scores, we size up the personal care offered to the nursing home's patients. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated 79.271706 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is significantly below the national average. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's least impressive category is short-term care, which is the final area we assessed. We gave it an abysmal F in this category. Despite multiple solid scores in other categories, this grade is nevertheless of a concern so we felt obligated to draw your attention to it. With our short-term care assessment, we try to create a valuable gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this facility offers substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical nursing home. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients that returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.8 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below the national average.
