Short-term Care Quality

This nursing home excelled in the category of short-term care, with an impressive grade of A in this area. With our short-term care grade, we strive to create a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we looked at in this area is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

This nursing home also received a favorable inspection grade. Its inspection grade proved to be its second best category. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you that the government 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 shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Nurse Quality

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C, which is a decent grade. In computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the amount of time nurses are seeing residents as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is far below average. Lastly, while this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality measures. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this area.

Long-term Care Quality

Moving on to our next category, this nursing home didn't fare well. Due to a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this was its weakest grade. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home vaccinated 97.72727 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable percentage. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
