Short-term Care Quality
Although we gave this facility a poor overall grade, we gave it a fairly respectable score in our short-term care rating, where it received a B-. This was better than its other category grades. Our short-term care scores are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of physical therapy per week to its residents. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This place outperformed the majority of facilities in the country in this area with 55.6 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
We were also pleasantly surprised to award this facility a relatively favorable inspection score as well. We awarded it a B- in this category, which easily topped its overall score. Our inspection scores are based on many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. Our nursing grade features a number of subcategories. The most important factor is the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents. This nursing home averages 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based measures, such as minimizing major falls. This facility performed admirably in this area.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we rated was long-term care. This nursing home was given a very poor grade of F in this area. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it typically means the nursing home didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to patient care. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home administered the vaccine to just 85.34136 percent of its patients. Unfortunately, its hospitalization rate was also disappointing. We found that this place had 2.3 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an alarming rate.
