Facility Inspections

While we were not high on this place's overall performance, it actually received 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 category with a B+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

We also gave this facility a solid score in the category of long-term care, where it received a C. Our long-term care ratings are more critical for residents in need of more conventional assistance related to activities of daily living. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 96.40288 percent of its patients, which is more than most nursing homes. This facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. There are a host of subcategories within this category. Many of these subcategories are tied to nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a good indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality

The next area we assessed is short-term care. For this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. In crafting our short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final item we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
