Facility Inspections

While we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively solid government inspections in recent years. We gave it a respectable grade of B in this category, which is much better than its overall grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home's second best area is long-term care. We gave it a C in this category. This is essentially a slightly below average grade in this category. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. This facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

This facilities next most favorable category is short-term care. We awarded it a C in this category. This is basically a middle of the pack grade in this category. Our short-term care scores are probably more meaningful for individuals in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The final metric we considered in this category is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Nurse Quality

The last category we rated was nursing, turned out to be this nursing home's worst area. We awarded this nursing home a D in that area. Our nursing rating includes several components, most of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This particular place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This statistic is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
