Facility Inspections

Although this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it did receive a very good grade in the area of inspections. We gave it a grade of B for that category, which is one of our better grades. Our inspection scores are tied to pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid nursing homes with severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means that CMS 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 aren't the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B-. Nursing scores are largely based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed well in this area. This is often an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of moving a patient at least once a day.

Short-term Care Quality

We also awarded this nursing home a solid score in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a C. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types 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 patient than a typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The last measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Turning to the next area, we awarded this nursing home a D for our long-term care category. This was the nursing home's least impressive category rating. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 98.25784 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than most nursing homes. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
