Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this place overall, we awarded it a grade of B+ for our inspections rating. This grade is much more impressive than the place's overall grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively minor. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is not a bad score. Our nursing rating is based on many datapoints. The most heavily weighted factor is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. This facility provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home was above average in many of the major statistics we focus on, with good scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's third best area ended up being its short-term care grade, where it received a C. In the category of short-term care, we strive to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides a greater volume of physical therapist hours to its residents than the average nursing home. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients that returned home from this facility. We found that 34.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the next area, we gave this facility a grade of D in the area of long-term care. This was the nursing home's least impressive category rating. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is an above average total. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this place fared much worse with 3.09 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this statistic is nearly double the national average.
