Facility Inspections

The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection score. In fact, its inspection grade was far superior to its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave this facility a grade of A+. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not something to panic about.

Short-term Care Quality

We also gave this facility a decent grade in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be more critical for people requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional skilled nursing. This means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. One of this nursing home's strengths is physical therapy hours. We found that it offers more hours with physical therapists to its residents than most facilities. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that it performed better than most nursing homes in this area with 55.8 percent of its residents returning home.

Long-term Care Quality

The third most favorable category we gave this facility in any category came in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a C. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective 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 factors we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. We were a bit alarmed this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to just 88.03828 percent of its residents. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.6 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

The final area we scored is nursing. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D for our nursing category, rendering this its weakest category grade. The nursing rating includes a number of subcategories. The most heavily weighted factor is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. With only 3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this place's nurse staffing levels were far below the national average. In addition to its subpar nursing hours, this facility also earned poor marks in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We found that a higher percentage of this facility's residents experienced falls leading to major injury. We believe that many falls could likely be prevented with better nursing care. This metric contributed to this place receiving a poor nursing score.
