Facility Inspections
The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection score. Its inspection grade was far better than its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave it a grade of A-. Our inspection grades are based on several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this area have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Nurse Quality
The second highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. In computing our nursing ratings, we assess both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home averages 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these metrics. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this subcategory.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was given its third most favorable category grade in the area of long-term care. We awarded this facility a B- in this category, which is an acceptable grade. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. We were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated 82.909935 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be quite a few points lower than the national average. Fortunately, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.61 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at is short-term care, which turned out to be a low point for this nursing home. We gave this facility a grade of D in short-term care. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for people requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. With a grade this poor in this area, we weren't stunned to find this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility offered far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
