Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its impeccable health inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better grades in that category, with an A+. This is a notably better grade than the place's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we also wanted to note that this nursing home received positive long-term care marks in this assessment. We awarded them one of our better grades in this area, with a B. This turned out to be the facility's second best score. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 93.37016 percent of its residents. The last statistic we assessed is the facility's hospitalization rate. We found that this nursing home had 2.4 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
The next highest category we gave this facility in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. Short-term care grades are generally employed to judge a facility's performance with rehabilitation To offer highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The final item we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 44.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
The next area we rated is nursing. We gave it a B- in this area. This is a perfectly acceptable grade in this area. The nursing grade weighs a host of data points. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also factored in some quality-based metrics. This place scored well in a few of the quality measures we assessed. For example, in terms of the percentage of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this facility outpaced the national average. This is usually a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented with better nursing care.
