Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next best category turned out to be its long-term care score, where it was awarded a grade of B-. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated just 89.73306 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we graded is short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a solid grade of C. In computing our short-term care grades, we look at a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This score is often a fair measure of the facility's rehabilitation. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The key is determining what effect this had on the quality of care. The last metric we assessed in this category is the number of patients who returned home from the facility. We found that just 5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. This figure was below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to our last category, we awarded this nursing home a D for our nursing category. This was the facility's worst category score. The nursing grade features a host of factors. The most important variable is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This number is quite a bit below the national average. To go along with its below average totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility had bad scores in several of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. For starters, we looked at the percent of residents sustaining falls which led to serious injury. This place was at more than 1.5 times the national average in this statistic. This is alarming in light of the fact that so many falls could be avoided with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the nursing home's fate of receiving a poor nursing score.
