Facility Inspections

It should also be noted that this facility's inspection rating outpaced its overall grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ for its inspections grade, which is a very solid score. Our inspection scores are based on pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. 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 facility's recent inspections.

Short-term Care Quality

We also awarded this facility a decent score in the category of short-term care, with a B-. Our short-term care scores are critical for residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. Finally, we looked at the number of residents that returned home from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well below the national average.

Nurse Quality

The last area we analyzed was nursing. For this category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. When calculating our nursing scores, we weigh both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, our nursing grades also consider quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
