Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively solid government inspections in recent years. We gave it a respectable grade of B in this area, which is much better than its overall grade. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Our nursing rating is primarily associated with the facility's nurse staffing. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at a few quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility was above average in many of the major metrics we assessed, including minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These metrics are generally accurate measures of the quality of nursing care provided.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the category of short-term care, this facility was given just a D in that area. Short-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. As you might expect, we learned that this nursing home provides far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 43.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our last area, we awarded this facility a grade of D in our long-term care category. This is the nursing home's weakest category rating. Facilities that don't fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. We were a bit worried that this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to a relatively low 80.80292 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at limiting hospitalizations. Although it had 1.95 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was not as bad since it had some more complicated patients. This was its best score in this category
