Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. Our inspection scores are based on many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
On the list of its many dominant grades, this nursing home received an excellent long-term care score. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in this area. When facilities receive this type of grade in long-term care it is typically a good sign for patient care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 99.0099 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is too frequently a deadly ailment for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility does not leave this to chance. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. While it had 2.95 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was middle of the road since it had more complex patients.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given a favorable short-term care grade as well. We gave it one of our higher grades in that category with a score of B+. In our short-term care score, we seek to create a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. The last item we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This place performed better than most nursing homes in this area with 50.9 percent of its residents returning home. For most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The next area we graded is nursing, in which this facility was awarded a B. Believe it or not, this was this nursing home's weakest category. A nursing home is doing something right when it's lowest grade still rates higher than most other facilities. Our nursing score is based on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also factored a few quality measures into our nursing grades. This place was relatively weak in two of the major areas we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
