Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Although we were not complementary of this facility's overall grade, it earned an impressive nursing rating this year. We gave it a B in this area. When determining a nursing home's nursing rating, we consider the amount of time nurses spend with patients as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of moving a patient even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's second best area ended up being its short-term care grade, where it was awarded a grade of B-. In forming these short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to formulate a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. The hope is that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The final statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's next best area is long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of C. In computing our long-term care grades, we analyze the assistance with daily living received by a nursing home's residents. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 85.66308 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility did not receive a favorable inspection rating. We gave it a just D in this category. Inspection ratings relate to a facility's government inspections. We weight poor inspection ratings heavily in our assessment. Since the inspection reports are compiled by independent government inspectors, we consider this data to be very reliable. Our inspection scores weigh many items found on the facility's inspection reports. When you see too many deficiencies on the reports, this is typically the worst sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This particular facility was hit with 7 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 25 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
