Historical

Although we were not complementary of this nursing home's overall grade, it earned an impressive nursing grade this year. We gave it a B in this category. The nursing grade is based on several components, but the primary one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these areas as predictive measures of the quality of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.

Short-term Care Quality

Historical

Another one of this nursing home's higher category scores was in the category of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B. It actually outpaced most facilities in this category. In computing our short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to formulate a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The final measure we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Historical

This nursing home was awarded its third highest category score in the area of long-term care. We awarded this facility a B- in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable grade. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. Once we assessed the volume of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 93.11926 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a significantly better hospitalization rate than the majority of nursing homes.

Historical

In our last category of inspections, this nursing home received an abysmal grade. When a nursing home has this bad of an inspection grade, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This particular nursing home was assessed one category J through K deficiency, which rank among the worst deficiencies. Finally, this facility also received 2 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
