Facility Inspections

The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better scores in that category, with an A. This is a much better grade than the place's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. Inspection scores are based on several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

We also wanted to note that this facility was awarded a great long-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it one of our highest grades in that area with a score of A. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 99.6875 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Lastly, 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 number.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility's second lowest category was short-term care, where it earned a grade of just D in that area. This is a relatively poor grade. With our short-term care grade, we strive to craft a valuable measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at the facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last item we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents 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.

Nurse Quality

The final category we scored is nursing. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this category, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. This is certainly a significant disappointment. Our nursing score includes several subcategories, most of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averaged only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an alarmingly low total. Lastly, we also looked at some quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This place was above average in two of the major data points we considered, with good scores for avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
