Historical

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility really excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. This is an excellent sign for this nursing home.

This nursing home's next highest category turned out to be its long-term care grade, where it was given a B-. In calculating our long-term care ratings, we analyze the personal care offered to the facility's residents. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 99.5283 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 2.36 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure was less impressive than its other scores in this category.

Historical

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. Our nursing rating is mostly associated with a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these areas as reliable measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.

Historical

Moving on to the next category, this nursing home really did not perform well. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in short-term care, this was its poorest category. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. With its score in this category, we were not surprised to find that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we looked at. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 32.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
