Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second most favorable area ended up being its short-term care grade, where it received a grade of B-. Our short-term care scores are crucial for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The critical question is whether this adversely impacted quality of care. Finally, we looked at the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below the national average.

With our long-term care category, we weigh the sheer quantity of services offered by a facility, along with a handful of quality metrics. One of the criteria we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
The final category we analyzed was nursing, is this nursing home's least impressive area. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in that category. In calculating our nursing ratings, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This place provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
