Facility Inspections

Although this place's overall score was not a highlight, it did receive a very good score in the area of inspections. We gave it a grade of B for that category, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection scores are tied to several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid facilities with severe deficiencies associated with risks to resident well being. This place received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home was given its second highest category grade in the area of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in this area, which is a decent grade. Our long-term care scores are more meaningful for patients requiring more conventional services related to personal care. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

We also gave this facility a middle of the road grade in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. Our short-term care scores are thought to be more important for those requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The real question is whether this also affected quality of care. The final item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Nurse Quality

The last area we graded was nursing, which was a weak spot for this facility. We gave this nursing home a grade of D for our nursing category. In determining a nursing home's nursing score, we consider the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients as well as the levels of training of those nurses. This facility offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is significantly below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This facility fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
