Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A-. Few facilities performed better in this area. Our inspection ratings account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home earned an B in the category of nursing. Nursing scores are primarily based on a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided 4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is an impressive figure which typically corresponds with quality care. Finally, this place appears to be above average in each of the major quality measures we assessed in this area. It performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we also would like to note that this facility received positive short-term care marks this year. We gave them one of our more favorable grades in this area, with a grade of B. With our short-term care category, we attempt to forge a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, we found that this nursing home provided respectable levels of physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. It fared better than most nursing homes in this area with 54.9 percent of its residents returning home. At most facilities, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at was long-term care, which turned out to be this facility's weakest category. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this category, which is clearly very disappointing. For prospective residents looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. One of the data points we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 94.38203 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 1.33 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
