Facility Inspections

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Remarkably, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C for our nursing rating, which isn't a bad grade. Our nursing rating features several datapoints. The most important variable is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home also didn't perform poorly in the area of long-term care. Indeed, we awarded it a C for that area, which is another one of its more favorable grades. For patients in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 99.49749 percent of its residents. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

The last area we assessed is short-term care, where this facility was given a bottom of the barrel grade here also. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this category, which is definitely a major concern. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Considering its score in this area, we were not stunned to learn that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. Frankly, this was what we expected here. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics doomed this nursing home's short-term care score.
