Ashley Care Center is a small facility in Ashley, Michigan. This nursing home was given a somewhat concerning overall grade of D, which is a relatively poor rating. This wasn't the worse facility we found, however, we would still be very reluctant to recommend it. Despite all this, one of the few highlights of this facility's profile is its strong nursing grade.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

Even though this facility's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in nursing. We gave it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our nursing score analyzes the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's second most favorable area is its short-term care score, where it received a B-. In computing our short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to devise a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Our next area we analyzed was long-term care, in which this nursing home was given an F. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. After we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated only 89.94083 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

In the last category of inspections, this facility fared very poorly. Sadly, it received an F in our inspection category. For facilities with poor inspection ratings, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This particular nursing home had 2 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, we also want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was assessed significant government fines in recent years amounting to more than $100,000. This often means that a facility's poor track record has been an issue for several years.
