Facility Inspections
To pair with its strong overall grade, we gave this facility an A for the area of inspections. Inspection scores are based on many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, this nursing home also was awarded favorable short-term care grades in our assessment. Indeed, we awarded it one of our better scores in that area, with a score of B+. Our short-term care ratings are arguably most critical for patients in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires additional highly-skilled nursing. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This place performed decently in this area, with 47.5 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B. We weighed the licensure of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time those nurses worked with residents, in determining our rating in this category. With 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the national average. Finally, this facility also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. For example, in terms of the number of its patients suffering falls which lead to serious injury, this place performed better than the national average. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed was long-term care. This nursing home received an above average long-term care rating in our assessment, with a grade of B. This nursing home really didn't have any weak grades. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are well cared for. Although we determined this nursing home had an above average volume of nursing care provided by nurses and other nursing staff, we found its vaccination rate to be somewhat lower than we expected. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 84.51777 percent of its patients. This is a statistic we would love to see this facility improve. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this place had 2.77 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. While this admittedly wasn't as favorable as some of its other scores in this category, this figure may be skewed for some nursing homes based on some of the medical complexity of residents.
