Facility Inspections
The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better scores in that category, with an A-. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. Inspection ratings are based on pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this area typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. This turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home an B+. Our nursing category assesses many subcategories, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This particular nursing home provided 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed is short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a solid grade of C. In the area of short-term care, we seek to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 35.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we analyzed is long-term care, which proved to be this nursing home's least impressive area. We awarded this nursing home a D in this area. For prospective patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is better than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this facility also keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.36 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
