Facility Inspections

While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it received a somewhat respectable grade in the area of inspections. We awarded it a B- for this area, which is not bad. Our inspection grades are tied to datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility's next highest area was its long-term care grade, where it received a grade of C. In calculating our long-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 98.68421 percent of its patients.

Nurse Quality

This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. The nursing score includes a variety of factors. The most important factor is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Turning to our fourth area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D for the area of short-term care. This was the facility's worst category rating. In forming these short-term care grades, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
