Facility Inspections

It should be noted that this facility's inspection rating outpaced its overall grade. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for its inspections grade, which is one of our better scores. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This nursing home received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

We also awarded this facility a positive grade in long-term care. This nursing home earned a grade of B+ in this area, which is one of our more favorable grades. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. One of the datapoints we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 95.02263 percent of its residents. This is a reliable method to avoid negative health outcomes for the nursing home population. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility received its third most favorable category score in the category of short-term care. We awarded this facility a C in this area, which is a decent grade. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to assess a facility's rehabilitation services To provide good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The last measure we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Nurse Quality

Switching gears to the final area, we gave this facility a grade of D for our nursing category. This was the facility's worst category score. Naturally, this category hurt the facility's overall profile a bit. We scrutinized the skill-level of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of time those nurses worked with patients, in computing our score in this area. This place averaged only 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This facility performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
