Facility Inspections

The main reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its impeccable inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in that category, with an A. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home's second most favorable category ended up being long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a B-. With our long-term care rating, we look at the amount of services provided by a facility, as well as some qualitative metrics. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 92.013885 percent of its residents against pneumonia. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of D. There are a host of datapoints included in this area. Most of the criteria are tied to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This place fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these statistics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Switching gears to the fourth category, this nursing home did not fare very well. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in short-term care, this is this facility's weakest area. In determining these short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. As you might expect, we learned that this facility offers substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical nursing home. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who eventually returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
