Facility Inspections

While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

This nursing home's next most favorable area ended up being its short-term care score, where it was given a C. In crafting our short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The real question is whether this adversely affected quality of care. The last metric we considered in this category is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility's next most favorable area is its long-term care score, where it was given a C. Our long-term care grade focuses on a facility's personal care instead of the highly skilled nursing or healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. Unfortunately, this facility vaccinated just 38.766518 percent of its residents against pneumonia. On a more positive note, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

This nursing home's worst category was nursing, which is the last category we scored. It received an F for this category. Despite some decent grades in other areas, this score is still disappointing so we would like to to draw your attention to it. When determining our nursing ratings, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. On top of receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this facility was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and found that this nursing home was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this metric.
