Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a grade of A- for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite minor. This place received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to create an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's better category scores was in the category of short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B. In our short-term care score, we strive to create a valuable gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at a facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This place performed as well as just about any nursing home in this area with 56.1 percent of its patients returning home. Most facilities are below 50 percent in this statistic.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. Nursing grades are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home averages 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grade also includes relevant quality-based metrics. While this place excelled in terms of quantity of nursing hours, it fell short in certain datapoints that focused on quality. This facility's nursing grade was pulled down by its subpar performance in the area of minimizing pressure ulcers. In fact, we found that 13.8 percent of this nursing home's patients sustained pressure ulcers. Since many pressure ulcers could be avoided with sufficient nursing protocols, we reduce a nursing home's nursing grade when we see this kind of prevalence of pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our next area, this facility really did not fare well in this category either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as bad as it gets. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility vaccinated 94.13203 percent of its patients, which is an above average percentage. To our surprise, this place also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 1.3 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
