Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to point out its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A- in this category. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the category of short-term care. This ended up being its second most favorable category. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. Short-term care ratings are important for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The question is whether this adversely affected quality of care. The last item we looked at in this area is the number of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home. It performed much better in this area with 58.2 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next most favorable area ended up being long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable total. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had just 1.5 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
The final area we graded is nursing, where this facility received a very poor score in this area also. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this category, which is definitely very concerning. Nursing scores are primarily tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This facility averaged only 2.9 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Lastly, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility was above average in two of the areas we focus on, with solid marks for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
