Facility Inspections

In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this place really excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of A-. Few facilities performed better in this area. Inspection grades weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category typically have very few severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Short-term Care Quality

This nursing home's short-term care grade turns out to be one of its more favorable scores. The facility was awarded a B- in this area. Our short-term care ratings are vital for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This includes a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The question is whether this also affected quality of care. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home's next best area turned out to be long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. Long-term care grades are based on the nursing home's quantity of care. This means a vast range of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

The final category we looked at was nursing, which ended up being this facility's least impressive area. We gave this nursing home a D in this category. The nursing score features a host of factors. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. With a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, this facility's nurse staffing levels were far below the national average. This facility also had abysmal scores in some of the quality-based metrics to go along with its low nursing hours. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and we were disappointed. This facility was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this area. This is likely a bad sign in light of the fact that so many pressure ulcers could be avoided with better nursing care. This statistic helped pull down this nursing home's nursing grade quite a bit.
