Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection grade. Its inspection grade was far superior to its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave it a grade of A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. 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 a generally favorable view of this nursing home's inspections.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's second most favorable category ended up being its long-term care grade, where it was awarded a grade of B-. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. We were concerned by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 86.84931 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's third best area is its short-term care grade, where it received a C. In our short-term care assessment, we attempt to craft a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. We were surprised to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Switching gears to our last category, we awarded this facility a grade of D for nursing. This was the facility's weakest category rating. We assessed the levels of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses spent with patients, in determining our grade in this area. This facility averaged only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this nursing home also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home.
