Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
Long-term Care Quality
Remarkably, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C for our long-term care grade, which really isn't too bad of a score. In crafting our long-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. We were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated 55.490196 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be quite a few points less than the national average. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Honestly, this was what we expected here. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either.
