Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection scores are tied to many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. This facility was assessed 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also want to point out that this facility received a decent grade in our nursing category. We awarded it a grade of B- in the area. Nursing scores are primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this nursing home's next highest category is short-term care. However, with a D in this area, it still fared somewhat badly. In forming these short-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to devise a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. With a score of this caliber in this area, we weren't surprised to find this nursing home was well below average in many staffing figures we focus on. The nursing home offered substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most nursing homes. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.7 percent of its patients returning home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we scored was long-term care, where this facility was given a bottom of the barrel score in this area as well. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this category, which is obviously a major concern. When facilities receive this type of grade in long-term care it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the facility is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated only 81.43607 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
