Nurse Quality
Although we were not complementary of this facility's overall score, it actually earned an impressive nursing rating this year. We gave it a B in this category. Our nursing grade is based on several datapoints, however, the main one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some quality-based measures in this category. This facility fared well in some of the quality measures we assessed. By way of illustration, in terms of the number of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this facility performed better than the national average. This is generally an indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided with better nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's second highest area turned out to be its long-term care grade, where it received a grade of C. For long-term care residents, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 97.971016 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.65 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home earned mediocre inspections in recent years. We gave them a grade of C in this area. Our inspection grades are based on several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This place was hit with 6 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were in categories G through L. This means that it dodged the more serious classes of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received some government fines in recent years.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we rated is short-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of C in this area. In the area of short-term care, we seek to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The real question is whether this also impacted quality of care. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 43.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
