Facility Inspections

To pair with its decent overall score, we gave this nursing home an A for its inspection grade. This score is far more impressive than its overall rating. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Short-term Care Quality

The next best category we awarded this facility in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. In determining our short-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to devise a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last statistic we considered in this area is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

The third area we analyzed is long-term care, where this facility was awarded a C in this category. In determining our long-term care grades, we look at the personal care offered to the nursing home's patients. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 94.08867 percent of its patients, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. This facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

The next area we rated is nursing, which proved to be this facility's worst category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this category. Our nursing rating includes many subcategories. The most heavily weighted factor is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This place averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This statistic is significantly below the national average. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home.
