Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home received 6 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
This facility also excelled in the category of nursing, where it received an B. Few facilities fared better in this area. Our nursing rating analyzes the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of training of the nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home excelled in these areas, with excellent scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a nursing home provides.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given its next best category grade in the area of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in this area, which is a respectable score. Long-term care grades focus on a facility's assistance with daily living instead of the highly skilled nursing and medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 98.01242 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is more than the average nursing home. This place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.48 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's least impressive category is short-term care, which is the last area we assessed. For this category, we awarded this nursing home a D. Our short-term care scores are considered to be most important for patients in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 28.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics doomed this nursing home's short-term care grade.
