Facility Inspections

This facility's best category grade came in the category of government inspections. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B. It outperformed most facilities in this category. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This place received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

This facilities next best category was long-term care. We awarded it a B- in this area. This is basically a slightly below average score in this area. In calculating our long-term care grades, we analyze the assistance with daily living received by the facility's residents. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. The nursing score weighs many subcategories. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a low total compared to most facilities. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

The next area we assessed was short-term care. In this category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. Our short-term care grades are thought to be more critical for people requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
