Facility Inspections
The main reason this facility received a decent overall score is its excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher grades in that area, with an A. This is a much better grade than the place's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a positive long-term care grade. Indeed, we awarded it a B in this category, which happens to be one of our better. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is much higher than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this facility had 2.65 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. In computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we assess the amount of time nurses are caring for patients and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provides only 2.6 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below the national average. Lastly, our nursing grades also consider quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its residents.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our final category, this nursing home was given a respectable short-term care grade of C. Short-term care scores are meaningful for prospective residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional skilled nursing. This includes a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. One of this nursing home's strengths is physical therapy hours. We found that it offers at least 50% more hours with physical therapists to its residents than most other facilities. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 36.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
