Facility Inspections
Although this place's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually received a very good grade in the area of inspections. We gave it a grade of B+ for that area, which is one of our better grades. Our inspection scores are based on items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best category is its short-term care score, where it received a grade of B-. In forming these short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we considered the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. The nursing rating assesses a handful of components, most of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also baked some quality-based metrics into our nursing ratings. This nursing home was subpar in a few of the major areas we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are generally decent measures of the quality of nursing care offered.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we scored is long-term care. This nursing home received a bottom of the barrel grade of F in that area. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 91.71271 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.5 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
