Facility Inspections

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 score. In our inspections category, we gave this facility a grade of A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

An additional strength of this facility is its first-rate grade in long-term care. We gave it one of our better grades in that category, with a grade of A. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 96.83544 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of D. We analyzed the licensure of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the number of hours the nurses worked with patients, in computing our rating in this area. This place offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is significantly below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

The last category we graded was short-term care. We awarded this facility a D in the area of short-term care, leaving this as the nursing home's weakest grade. In our short-term care assessment, we attempt to create a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess the facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we discovered that this nursing home offers less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
