Facility Inspections
This facility received a quality overall score as described above, but we especially would like to emphasize its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave them an A+ in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies an immediate risk to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility is also strong in the category of short-term care, where it was awarded a score of B+. It performed better than most nursing homes in this area. Our short-term care grade is often used to judge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Remarkably, this place provides approximately 1.5 times as many hours of services from physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we assessed. The final metric we assessed in this category is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home rather than remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Nurse Quality
Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. The nursing grade is based on quite a few factors, however, the paramount one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides an impressive 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Of this total, nearly one quarter of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is among the most highly trained levels of nurses. Lastly, this facility also performed well in several of the quality measures we looked at. In terms of the number of its residents suffering falls which lead to major injury, this nursing home performed as well as any nursing home in the nation.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's least impressive category was long-term care, which is the last category we analyzed. For this area, we awarded this nursing home a D. When facilities receive this type of grade in long-term care it is a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. This nursing home's vaccination records were a bit weaker than some of the other statistics in this category, such as its nursing hours data. This nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 88.42975 percent of its patients. We would love to see some improvement in this area in the future. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at limiting hospitalizations. Although it had 1.84 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was not bad due to it having some more complex patients. This is its best feature in this category
