Facility Inspections

We want to point out that this nursing home really outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in this category with an A-. Arguably the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. 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. Based on this, we had favorable view of this facility's inspections.

Short-term Care Quality

This nursing home received its second most favorable category score in the category of short-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of B- in this area, which is a decent grade. In the category of short-term care, we strive to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The final measure we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Nurse Quality

This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Our nursing grade is based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of skill of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, while this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this area.

Long-term Care Quality

Turning to the next area, this facility really did not perform very well. With a poor grade of F in long-term care, this was this facility's weakest category. For patients in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 97.54902 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility also keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
