Short-term Care Quality
While we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to point out its high marks in our short-term care rating. We awarded them an A- in this category, which was a rare bright spot for this place. Our short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This proved to be a real strength for this nursing home. It outperformed the vast majority of facilities in this area with 61.9 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most facilities.
Nurse Quality
We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing grade is primarily associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these datapoints. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this datapoint. This is often a reliable indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a system of turning a resident even once per day.
Long-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home's next highest score is long-term care. However, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed somewhat badly. For prospective residents in need of a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 97.31183 percent of its residents, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. While it had 1.84 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic wasn't bad due to it having more complex patients.
Facility Inspections
In our last area of inspections, this nursing home received an F here. When a place has this bad of an inspection score, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This particular nursing home was assessed 7 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 20 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
