Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

One of this nursing home's better category scores was in the category of short-term care. This wound up being its second best category. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. In computing these short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 4.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

We also gave this facility a respectable grade in the category of long-term care, with a grade of C. Long-term care ratings are based on a facility's volume of nursing services. This means a vast scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 91.09589 percent of its residents. This is somewhat lower than we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Nevertheless, this facility excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This facility's least impressive area was nursing, which is the final area we assessed. For this area, we awarded this nursing home a D. When computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we assess the quantity of hours nurses are with residents and the level of licensure of those nurses. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, this facility's nurse staffing levels were well below average. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home.
