Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are quite insignificant. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Our nursing grade is based on several factors. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed better than average in this area. This is often a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, this nursing home also received favorable long-term care scores in our assessment. Indeed, we gave it one of our higher scores in that area, with a score of B. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 95.82754 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia can be a dangerous illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home doesn't roll the dice on this issue. The last datapoint we looked at was the nursing home's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this facility had 2.84 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. While this admittedly wasn't as impressive as some of its other scores in this category, this figure can be skewed for some nursing homes due to the medical complexity of residents.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we rated was short-term care. We gave this facility a D for short-term care, making this its worst category grade. Our short-term care ratings are critical for residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final statistic we considered in this area is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 9.9 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
