Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. This place received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second most favorable area was short-term care. We gave it a B- in this category. This is basically a slightly below average grade in this area. In the area of short-term care, we strive to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that it also performed well in this metric with 60.1 percent of its residents returning home. Most facilities are below 50 percent in this statistic.
Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. Our nursing score is based on several factors. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This facility provides 3.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses to assist its patients.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our last category, we awarded this facility a grade of D in long-term care. This is the nursing home's weakest category rating. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means the nursing home didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to resident care. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 93.16239 percent of its patients, which is slightly lower than we expected. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.62 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
