Facility Inspections
We want to point out that this facility really outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that area with a grade of A-. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable category was its short-term care score, where it received a grade of B-. In our short-term care category, we attempt to craft a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. We were surprised to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. It is important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home and found that this nursing home performed better here. In fact, this facility performed better than most facilities in this area with 53.7 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. In calculating a facility's nursing score, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses commit to residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home averages 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. This nursing home performed admirably in this metric.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our next category, this nursing home really did not perform well. Due to an abysmal grade of F in long-term care, this is its worst grade. For patients looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility provided the vaccine to 96.70659 percent of its residents, which is an above average datapoint. Surprisingly, this facility also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.46 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
