Facility Inspections

The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in that category, with an A. This is a much better grade than the facility's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. We weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Without the deficiency related data for this facility, it was challenging to fully grade the place in this category.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home's next best category turned out to be its long-term care score, where it was awarded a grade of C. In a long-term care environment, the primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the criteria we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 99.24812 percent of its residents. This nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Moving on to the category of short-term care, this facility received just a D in this area. In calculating these short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to create a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Given its score in this area, we were not surprised to learn that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The last item we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics sunk this nursing home's short-term care grade.

Nurse Quality

The last category we graded was nursing. Sadly, it received an F for this area, which is a poor score. This is obviously a major concern. We analyzed the qualifications of nurses employed by the facility, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses worked with residents, in computing our score in this area. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This number is quite a bit below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This place fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
