Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite minor. While this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a positive short-term care score. Indeed, we gave it a B+ in this category, which is one of our more favorable scores. In forming our short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. 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. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This place outperformed the majority of facilities in the country with 51.7 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-, which is a decent grade. Nursing scores are primarily tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. This facility performed admirably in this metric.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's worst area is long-term care, which is the final category we analyzed. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this category. Despite some solid scores in other categories, this score is nevertheless concerning so we felt obligated to point it out. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care may not provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes provide. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated 89.07104 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is quite a bit lower than what we expected. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at limiting hospitalizations. Although it had 2.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric wasn't as bad due to it having more complicated patients. This was its best score in this category
