Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this place really excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Few facilities performed better in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's second most favorable area ended up being its long-term care grade, where it was awarded a C. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 92.59259 percent of its residents. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The third category we analyzed is short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a decent grade of C. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. The hope is that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 5.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This facility's weakest area was nursing, which is the final area we analyzed. In this category, we gave this facility a grade of D. In determining a facility's nursing score, we weigh the amount of time nurses commit to residents as well as the levels of training of those nurses. This facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is quite a bit below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This facility performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
