Facility Inspections
The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection grade. Its inspection score was far better than its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave this facility a grade of A-. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we awarded this facility a grade of B in our short-term care category. This is one of our more impressive grades. Short-term care grades are typically used to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 4.9 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Most of these subcategories are tied to staffing levels. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, our nursing scores also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

This nursing home's least impressive area was long-term care, which is the last category we analyzed. For this area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of just D. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. One of the criteria we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccines.

With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
