Long-term Care Quality

This facility really performed well in the category of long-term care, where it earned an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. If it wasn't for this area, this facility's overall score would have likely been worse. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 96.1039 percent of its patients. This is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the senior population. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

We also wanted to emphasize this facility's nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. Arguably the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Next we wanted to quickly point out one of this facility's major weaknesses. In the area of nursing care, we gave this nursing home a lowly grade of F. The nursing grade analyzes many datapoints, however, the primary one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility offered just 0.1 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This facility fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

The next area we rated is short-term care, which proved to be this nursing home's least impressive area. We gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is obviously a major concern. In forming our short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most facilities, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
