Facility Inspections

While we were fairly low on this facility overall, we awarded it an A- for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall score. Inspection ratings are tied to many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid facilities with severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility was awarded its next most favorable category score in the area of short-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of C in this area, which is a decent score. In our short-term care score, we seek to craft a fair barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below average.

Nurse Quality

Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. We scrutinized the skill-level of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses worked with patients, in computing our score in this area. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these datapoints to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

The next category we looked at was long-term care, in which this facility was given a poor grade in this area as well. We gave it a lowly F for this area, which is definitely a major disappointment. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it generally means the nursing home did not perform well in our measures relating to patient care. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility administered the vaccine to only 36.904762 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best score in this category.
