Facility Inspections
This nursing home earned an inspection score which is stronger than its overall grade. Inspection grades are based on the nursing home's recent government inspections. We awarded this facility an above average grade of B+ in this category. Inspection scores are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this area have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's more impressive category scores was in the area of short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B. It actually performed better than most facilities in this area. Our short-term care grades are believed to be more important for residents requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home, which as an area this facility performed much more favorably. It outperformed the vast majority of facilities in the country in this area with 56.9 percent of its residents returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most 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 B-. When calculating our nursing ratings, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of those nurses. This facility provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also considered quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This place was above average in two of the major datapoints we assessed, including minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are sometimes good indicators of the quality of nursing care offered.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we rated is long-term care, which was a weak link for this nursing home. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in long-term care. For long-term care residents, the primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.56459 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.69 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
