Facility Inspections

While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that area, which is one of our highest scores. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid nursing homes that have a long list of deficiencies. While this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in 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 safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

One of this facility's more favorable category scores was in the area of long-term care. This turned out to be its second best category. In that category, we gave this facility a C. Our long-term care ratings are important for prospective residents seeking non-healthcare services such as personal care. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 96.866844 percent of its patients. This facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. There are a host of datapoints included in this grade. Most of these factors reflect levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This facility fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

The next category we assessed was short-term care. This nursing home received an abysmal grade of F in this category. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Considering its grade in this category, we were not surprised to discover that this place is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the data we assessed. Honestly, this was what we expected here. Finally, we looked at the number of patients that returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
