Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we awarded this nursing home a B+ in our long-term care category. This happens to be one of our more impressive scores. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is a good sign for patient care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. After we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 99.545456 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a dangerous health condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home does not leave its residents vulnerable. This nursing home was also able to keep its patients out of the hospital. While it had 2.64 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was better than most facilities since it had some more complicated patients.
Nurse Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. Our nursing score assesses quite a few components, most of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, our nursing grades also consider quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally an indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's worst area is short-term care, which is the last category we analyzed. We gave it a lowly F for this category. Even with several decent scores in other categories, this grade is still concerning so we would like to to make a note of it. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to have highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. Given its score in this category, we were not stunned to learn that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 33.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
