Facility Inspections
Although we didn't rate this nursing home favorably overall, we did give it an excellent score in the category of inspections, where it received a grade of A. Our inspection grades are based on items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities that have severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. This nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. Our nursing grade is largely based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This place provides 2.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, although this facility didn't rank highly in terms of its nursing hours, it performed better in some of the quality measures we looked at. In terms of the percentage of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this place performed better than the national average.
Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its short-term care grade, which is not an impressive grade. In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 37.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics doomed this facility's short-term care grade.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed is long-term care, which ended up being this nursing home's worst category. We awarded this facility a D in that category. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 97.097626 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.59 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
