Facility Inspections

To go along with its decent overall grade, we gave this nursing home an A for its inspection grade. This grade is far more impressive than its overall score. Arguably the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

The second highest category we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. In the category of short-term care, we seek to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The last metric we considered in this category is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below average.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home's next most favorable area is long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a C. In calculating our long-term care scores, we analyze the assistance with daily living received by the facility's residents. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 98.52217 percent of its residents. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

This facility's weakest category was nursing, which is the final category we analyzed. It received an abysmal F in this area. Despite a few solid scores in other categories, this score is still of a concern so we wanted to make sure you are aware. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This facility offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these data points to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
