Short-term Care Quality

It should also be noted that this nursing home' short-term care score outpaced its overall score. We gave it a B+ for short-term care. Our short-term care scores are based on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. It doesn't look like this nursing home provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

This facility's second best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing grade is largely based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. 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. Finally, nursing scores also consider quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses to assist its residents.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility's third best category was its long-term care grade, where it was given a C. In a long-term care setting, the 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 patients. After we finished assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinates 96.53179 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Unfortunately, this nursing home did not receive a favorable inspection rating. We gave it a score of just D in this category. Inspection ratings relate to a facility's government inspections. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, we also want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received large government fines in recent years amounting to over $100,000. This usually signifies that a nursing home's poor performance has been an issue for more than one year.
