Facility Inspections
Although this place's overall score was not a highlight, it actually received a very good score in the category of inspections. We awarded it a grade of B+ for that category, which is one of our better scores. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid places that have a long list of severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. This turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility an B-. The nursing category assesses a handful of factors, many of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below the national average. Lastly, nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next highest area ended up being its long-term care score, where it was given a grade of C. In calculating our long-term care grades, we analyze the personal care offered to the nursing home's patients. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We were a bit worried that this nursing home provided the vaccine to only 69.69027 percent of its residents. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. With 1.91 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home is also below average.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we rated is short-term care, turned out to be this nursing home's least impressive area. We gave this facility a grade of D in this category. Our short-term care grades are believed to be most meaningful for patients in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually requires additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Given its score in this area, we were not stunned to find that this nursing home was subpar in terms of its quantity of registered nurse hours offered to its patients. Frankly, this was about what we expected here. The last measure we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 39 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. This statistic was damning for this facility's short-term care grade.
