Facility Inspections

While this place's overall score was not a highlight, it did receive a very good grade in the area of inspections. We gave it a B+ for that area, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection scores are tied to several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid facilities with severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Another one of this nursing home's higher category scores came in the category of short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B. It actually performed better than most facilities in this area. In our short-term care rating, we strive to craft a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we looked at in this category is the number of residents that returned home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. Nursing ratings are mostly tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This particular facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This figure is significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. While this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of these quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this subcategory. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of moving a resident more frequently.

Long-term Care Quality

The final category we scored was long-term care, where this facility received a bottom of the barrel grade here as well. It received a lowly F in this area, which is obviously a major disappointment. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an above average statistic. Surprisingly, this facility also keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
