Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area typically have very few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
One of this nursing home's more respectable category grades was in the category of long-term care. This wound up being its second most respectable category. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. In determining these long-term care scores, we look at the facility's personal care services. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.632355 percent of its residents. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.51 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an D. In calculating our nursing scores, we look at both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This particular nursing home provided a meager 3.1 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This statistic is quite a bit below average. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this facility also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's least impressive area was short-term care, which is the last category we scored. For this area, we gave this facility a grade of D. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To offer highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 37.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
