Facility Inspections

Although we were not complementary of this place's overall performance, it did receive an impressive inspection report this year with few dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that area with a B. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid nursing homes with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Despite this deficiency, this place still had a relatively favorable inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

We also gave this nursing home a respectable score in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. Our short-term care grade is often employed to gauge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To have good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The key is determining what effect this had on the quality of care. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. When computing our nursing grades, we weigh both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality

The final category we rated is long-term care. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this area, which is a poor score. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 93.805305 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
