Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this nursing home overall, we awarded it an A for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this facility's better category scores was in the category of short-term care. This turned out to be its second most favorable category. In that area, we awarded this facility a C. Our short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 42.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. Our nursing rating assesses a handful of factors, however, the primary consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home offered a meager 2.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is well below average. In addition to its subpar nursing hour totals, this facility received poor marks in some of the quality-based measures we considered in determining our nursing scores. We found that a higher percentage of this place's residents experienced falls which led to serious injury.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we rated was long-term care, in which this facility received a poor grade in this category as well. We gave it a lowly F for this area, which is definitely very concerning. Nursing homes that don't score well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. One of the criteria we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to only 80.287476 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 1.27 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
