Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this place overall, we awarded it a grade of B+ for our inspections category. This grade is much better than the place's overall grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite minor. This nursing home received 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
Surprisingly, this facility actually received an impressive nursing grade this year as well. We gave it a grade of B in this category. Our nursing grade is largely based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed better than average in this area. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's next best category was short-term care. As it turns out, with a D in this category, it still performed somewhat poorly. Our short-term care ratings are vital for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. As you might expect, we learned that this facility provides substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average nursing home. The final metric we assessed in this category is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 28.8 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our last area, this facility did not fare well in this area either. With a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is about as as uninspiring as it gets. Facilities that don't fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. One of the data points we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to a relatively low 79.79275 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.47 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
