Facility Inspections

While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it did receive a very good score in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B for that category, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection grades account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid facilities with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. This place was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

The next best category we gave this nursing home in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The real question is whether this also affected quality of care. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. Our nursing score focuses on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality

The final area we looked at was long-term care. We gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is an abysmal grade. In a long-term care environment, the primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the factors we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility also keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
