Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection grades are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was given a strong long-term care grade. Indeed, we awarded it a B in that area, which happens to be one of our better. Facilities that excel in this category typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital.

In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this facility's third highest score is short-term care. As it turns out, with a D in this area, it still performed somewhat badly. Short-term care scores are meaningful for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional skilled nursing. This includes a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Considering its grade in this category, we were not stunned to discover that this facility was well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the measures we looked at. Frankly, this was about what we expected here. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the final category, this nursing home really did not fare well. With a rock bottom grade of F in nursing, this is this nursing home's poorest category grade. Our nursing grade is primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home offered only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. On top of rating below average in nursing hours per resident, this place also had poor scores in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This facility was at about 150 percent of the national average in both of these statistics. This is a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These metrics pulled down this facility's nursing rating quite a bit.
