Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. It is generally in your best interest to avoid places that have a long list of deficiencies. This place was hit with 9 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next highest category ended up being long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a C. With our long-term care assessment, we assess the volume of services offered by a facility, as well as some qualitative measures. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. We were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated 58.839046 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is several points lower than what we expected. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We were stunned to find that this nursing home also excelled in the area of nursing. In fact, we awarded it an impressive grade of D for that category, which is one of our highest scores. In computing our nursing scores, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is far below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This facility fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we rated was short-term care. This facility was given a very poor grade of F in that category. In forming these short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care score.
