Facility Inspections

It should be noted that this facility's inspection grade outpaced its overall score. We gave it a B+ for its inspections grade, which is a very solid score. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

This facilities second most favorable area was short-term care. We gave it a B- in this area. This is essentially a middle of the road grade in this category. In computing our short-term care grades, we look at a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This score is frequently a solid measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. We were surprised to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home received its next highest category grade in the category of long-term care. We gave this facility a B- in this area, which is a decent grade. In a long-term care environment, the primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 99.57627 percent of its patients. This facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

This facility's least impressive category is nursing, which is the last area we looked at. It received an F in this category. Despite a few acceptable scores in other categories, this score is nevertheless alarming so we felt obligated to make a note of it. Nursing ratings are based largely on quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is well below average. To pair with its low total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home had really poor marks in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. For starters, we looked at the percentage of patients having falls leading to serious injury. This nursing home was at more than 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
