Facility Inspections

Although we were not high on this facility's overall performance, it did receive 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 area with a B. Arguably the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid nursing homes that have too many severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

This facilities next most favorable area is long-term care. We gave it a C in this category. This is essentially a slightly below average grade in this area. Our long-term care grade is often used to gauge a nursing home's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. One of the criteria we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 96.77419 percent of its patients. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

The next area we assessed is short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a decent grade of C. Our short-term care grades are based on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical facility. The hope is that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. Finally, we considered the number of residents that returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well below average.

Nurse Quality

Switching gears to our final area, we awarded this facility a D in the area of nursing. This is the facility's weakest category grade. The nursing grade weighs several subcategories, most of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is well below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This place fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
