Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection score. Its inspection grade was far better than its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave it an A. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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. Based on this, we had positive view of this nursing home's inspections.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The second highest category we awarded this facility in any category came in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. Our long-term care scores are more meaningful for folks in need of more conventional services associated with personal care. One of the statistics we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's second lowest category was short-term care, where it earned a grade of just D in that category. This is a well below average grade. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. With a grade this poor for this area, we were not surprised to find that this place was below average in multiple staffing figures we assess. The facility offered significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. The last measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.9 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's worst category was nursing, which is the final category we scored. For this category, we awarded this nursing home a D. Our nursing rating is based on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This facility offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This number is significantly below average. Finally, we also looked at a few quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This facility was above average in two of the major metrics we focus on, with good marks for avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
