Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this place really excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A. Few facilities performed better in this area. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also excelled in the category of nursing, where it received an B+. Few nursing homes fared better in this category. Nursing scores are mostly based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides high levels of nursing care, with an average of 4 hours per patient each day. This is more nursing care than most nursing homes provide. Finally, this place also performed well in several of the quality measures we assessed. For example, in terms of the number of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this place performed better than the national average. This is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented with better nursing care and having a policy of regularly turning residents to avoid bed sores.
Long-term Care Quality
The third category we looked at was long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. This facility's vaccination records weren't as favorable some of the other datapoints in this category, such as its nursing hours data. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 87.5 percent of its residents. We'd love to see some improvement herein this statistic in the future. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 2.56 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Although this figure is somewhat concerning, this statistic may be skewed for some facilities based on the preexisting medical conditions of residents.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's least impressive area is short-term care, which is the last area we looked at. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be more meaningful for people in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. In this place's case, it looks like it provided less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 33.2 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below average.
