Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Although we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to note its relatively favorable long-term care score this year. We gave it a B in this category. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it generally means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. After we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly can be a life threatening ailment for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this nursing home a grade of B- for our inspections rating. This score is a more impressive than the facility's overall grade. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. Not having any deficiencies proved to be this nursing home's best achievement.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. Nursing grades are primarily associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility averaged just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This number is far below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we scored was short-term care. This facility was given a very poor grade of F in this category. In forming these short-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to formulate a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. With a grade of this caliber for this category, we weren't stunned to learn this place was below average in several staffing metrics we assess. The nursing home supplied far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 3.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Grade: A

In The Garrison Geriatric Education and Care Center, 7.38% of Patients use Anti-Psychotic Medication

Increased usage of these drugs may indicate a nursing home is using these medications to subdue residents in scenarios where such medications aren't medically required.
