Facility Inspections
Although we did not have many favorable things to say about this nursing home's overall score, it earned a respectable inspection report this year. It received a decent score in that area with a score of B-. We believe that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. While this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. 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.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given its next highest category grade in the category of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a B- in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable score. In computing our long-term care ratings, we size up the assistance with daily living received by a nursing home's patients. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 98.46743 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. The nursing rating assesses many subcategories, but the main consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures. Although this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of these quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this area. This is typically an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of turning a resident at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we scored was short-term care, which was a weak spot for this nursing home. We gave this facility a D in the area of short-term care. In the area of short-term care, we strive to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.4 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below the national average.
