Facility Inspections
To pair with its strong overall score, we gave this facility an A for our inspections rating. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
Adding to this nursing home's list of strengths, it also received an excellent nursing grade. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Our nursing score is mostly based on a facility's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. At least one quarter of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. This is a high ratio of skilled nursing care. In determining our nursing ratings, we apply more weight to care provided by more highly trained nurses such as registered or licensed nurses. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home is also strong in the area of short-term care, where it was given a score of B+. It outpaced most nursing homes in this area. Our short-term care grades are based on a facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. One of this place's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it provides more care from registered nurses to its residents than most nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the number of patients that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 44.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we graded was long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a D for the area of long-term care, leaving this as its worst grade. For residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an above average percentage. Surprisingly, this facility also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.37 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
