Facility Inspections
While this place's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually received a slightly more favorable score in the area of inspections. We awarded it a B- for this category, which is a decent score. We would argue 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 nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. 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.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home an B-. When computing our nursing ratings, we assess both staffing levels and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, although this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this area.

Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a solid score in the category of long-term care, where it received a B-. For prospective residents in need of a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. After we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinates 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at is short-term care, which proved to be a weak link for this nursing home. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in short-term care. Short-term care scores are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this place offers far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
