Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

While we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a B- in nursing. This is better than its overall score. When determining our nursing ratings, we look at both staffing levels and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics. Although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality measures. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared well in this subcategory. This is often an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a policy of moving residents more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next most favorable area we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. In our short-term care score, we endeavor to create a valuable barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

In yet another surprising turn, we actually gave this facility a very solid grade in the area of inspections as well. In fact, we awarded it a B- in this category. This is better than many nursing homes in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite minor. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Switching gears to our last category, we awarded this nursing home a D in the area of long-term care. This is the nursing home's least impressive category grade. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. One of the factors we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 98.611115 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
