Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this facility's more favorable category grades was in the area of short-term care. This ended up being its second best category. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. In the category of short-term care, we seek to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. One of this nursing home's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it offers more care from registered nurses to its residents than most facilities. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. It was respectable in this metric with 47.2 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. In calculating a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the number of hours nurses are caring for patients and the levels of training of the nurses. This place provided just 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a relatively low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we like to look at quality-based metrics, such as the percent of residents who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These datapoints are decent measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we scored is long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is a very poor score. This is certainly a significant disappointment. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category likely don't provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities offer. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. Unfortunately, this nursing home vaccinated just 64.111496 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Finally, we were stunned by its number of hospitalizations. We found that this facility fared poorly with 3.85 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, this statistic is more than twice the national average.
