Nurse Quality

Although we were not complementary of this facility's overall score, it actually received an impressive nursing score this year. We gave it a grade of B in this category. When calculating our nursing ratings, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of those nurses. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

We also awarded this facility a solid score in the area of short-term care, where it received a C. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we size up the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This grade is generally a fair assessment of the facility's rehabilitation. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. It is important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The last metric we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Facility Inspections

This nursing home did not receive favorable inspection reports in recent years. In fact, it only received a grade of D for its inspection grade. Inspection ratings factor in many items on the nursing home's recent inspection reports. When you find severe deficiencies on the inspection reports, this is generally the worst sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This particular facility had 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a risk to resident safety or health. Finally, we also need to point out that this place was assessed significant government fines in recent years amounting to over $100,000. This often indicates that a facility's bad track record spanned more than one year.

Long-term Care Quality

The last category we graded is long-term care, was this nursing home's worst category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in that category. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 95.32164 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
