Historical

This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent inspections in recent years. We gave them an A in this category. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

This nursing home also fared well in the area of long-term care. Indeed, we awarded it a score of A- in that area, which is one of our highest scores. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. With 1.85 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this place was just about middle of the road in this area.

In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of short-term care. In computing our short-term care grades, we assess a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This category is considered to be a fair assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Considering its score in this category, we weren't surprised to discover that this facility was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the figures we looked at. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 34.9 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below average.

Historical

The last category we looked at was nursing. We gave it an F in this area, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. This is certainly a major concern. Our nursing score weighs several data points, but the most important consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home offered just 3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is not a very impressive figure. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These scores pulled down this nursing home's nursing rating significantly.
