Facility Inspections

Although this place's overall score was terrible, it performed well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that category, which is one of our better scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Unfortunately, this nursing home only received a grade of D for its long-term care score, which ended up being one of its higher category grades. For residents in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Short-term Care Quality

The third area we looked at was short-term care. This nursing home's received a rock-bottom short-term care grade where it was given an F. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we considered the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

The final category we assessed was nursing. It received an F for this category, which is a bottom of the barrel score. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This place performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
