Short-term Care Quality
We want to point out that this facility received favorable marks for short-term care this year. We awarded them one of our better grades in that category, with a grade of B+. This proved to be the facility's top score and helped its profile overall. Our short-term care grades are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Remarkably, this facility provides its residents with at least 50% more physical therapist hours per week than the average facility. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that it fared better than most nursing homes in this area with 55.1 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. The nursing grade assesses many factors, but the paramount one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 4.2 hours per resident per day. This is well above average. Lastly, we also baked a few quality measures into our nursing scores. This nursing home fared poorly in two of the metrics we focus on, with below average marks for minimizing its patients' pressure ulcers and major falls. These datapoints are often reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we rated was long-term care, which ended up being a weak spot for this nursing home. We gave this facility a D in the area of long-term care. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category may not provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities offer. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 92.675156 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is somewhat below what we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.68 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
