Facility Inspections

The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection score. In fact, its inspection grade was far better than its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave it an A+. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Another one of this nursing home's higher category scores came in the category of long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a B. It actually performed better than most nursing homes in this area. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is usually a good sign for resident care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 98 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Unfortunately, this nursing home's third highest score was short-term care. However, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed somewhat poorly. In calculating our short-term care scores, we scrutinize the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This grade is frequently a fair assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation. It appears that this nursing home was subpar in multiple staffing areas we looked at. The facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The last item we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below the national average.

Nurse Quality

The final category we analyzed was nursing, which is this nursing home's worst area. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in that area. Of course, this grade hurt the nursing home's overall grade a bit. Nursing grades are mostly tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provided a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. On top of receiving below average scores for nursing hours, this nursing home was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and found this nursing home was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
