Nurse Quality

While we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall grade, it did receive a respectable nursing grade of B-. When determining a facility's nursing score, we weigh the number of hours nurses are with residents as well as the levels of training of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility's second highest category was its short-term care score, where it received a grade of B-. In the category of short-term care, we strive to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The critical question is whether this adversely affected quality of care. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well below average.

Long-term Care Quality

The next most favorable category we gave this facility in any area came in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a C. Our long-term care grades are vital for people requiring personal care. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable percentage. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Moving on our last category of inspections, this facility received a grade that's as bad as it gets. When a facility has this poor of an inspection grade, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This particular facility had 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they caused a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
