Facility Inspections
The primary reason this facility received a decent overall score is its impeccable health inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our higher scores in that area, with a grade of A+. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. Arguably the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent 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
This facility also performed favorably in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a score of A-. Very few nursing homes fared more favorably in this category. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are kept in good health. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 98.870056 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.2 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Our nursing score assesses the facility's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of skill of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This facility provides 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we scored was short-term care, proved to be this nursing home's least impressive category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that area. This is one of the couple of dings on a very solid profile. In the category of short-term care, we try to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. We found that this nursing home was subpar in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
