Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall score was not a highlight, it actually received a very good score in the category of inspections. We gave it a B+ for that area, which is one of our better grades. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite minor. This particular nursing home received 5 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 nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. Nursing scores are primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. With 4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, this place surpassed the national average. We also look at the skill levels of nurses and add more weight to hours worked by skilled nurses. Lastly, we also factored in some quality-based measures. This place performed well in a few of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In terms of the number of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this place outpaced the national average.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given its next best category grade in the area of short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of C in this area, which is an acceptable grade. Short-term care scores are vital for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This includes a vast scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. This nursing home boosted its score in this category by offering more physical therapy hours to its residents than the average facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. It outperformed the majority of facilities in this area with 52 percent of its patients returning home. This is a higher rate than most nursing homes.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we rated is long-term care. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this area, which is a poor score. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 94.49036 percent of its patients, which is higher than the average nursing home. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.5 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
