Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home highly overall, we want to point out its nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid facilities with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. This nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
The next highest area we gave this facility in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. Short-term care ratings are crucial for patients looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. The hope is that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The last measure we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to return home from the facility. We found that it fared much better in this area with 57.8 percent of its residents returning home. With most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. Our nursing rating assesses the facility's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This particular place provided just 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This statistic is quite a bit below average. Lastly, we also looked at some quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home was above average in two of the datapoints we considered, with good marks for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we rated is long-term care, which ended up being this nursing home's least impressive area. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in that area. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the nursing home is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. We were disappointed to learn that this facility vaccinated just 73.62637 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.47 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
