Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection grades are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We awarded this facility a grade of just D for our short-term care rating and that actually turned out to be its second most favorable category. In calculating these short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Not surprisingly, we learned that this nursing home offers significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical facility. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics doomed this facility's short-term care score.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of long-term care, this nursing home received a grade of just D in that area. For patients seeking a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home gave the vaccine to 95.50827 percent of its residents, which is an above average datapoint. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The final area we analyzed is nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this category, which is a very poor grade. When computing our nursing grades, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Unfortunately, this nursing home also had terrible marks in some of the quality-based metrics to go along with its weak nursing hours. We looked at the percentage of patients suffering pressure ulcers and we were disappointed. This nursing home was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this metric. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that so many bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. This statistic helped pull down this nursing home's nursing grade significantly.
