Facility Inspections
In addition to having a decent overall grade, we also would like to point out that this place earned favorable health inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in that category, with a grade of B. This is a much better grade than the nursing home's overall grade. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category grades came in the category of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. Our short-term care grades are probably most meaningful for those requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This place performed decently , with 45.9 percent of its patients able to return home.
Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. Our nursing score weighs several datapoints, many of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 3.1 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below the national average. Finally, we look at quality-based metrics, such as the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. These datapoints are measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at is long-term care. We awarded this facility a B- in this category. For patients in need of a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinates 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this facility had 2.95 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Although this figure is quite a bit higher than the national average, this number can be skewed for some facilities due to the medical complexity of residents.
