Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place really excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Few facilities performed better in this area. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
This facilities next most favorable area was long-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. This is essentially a slightly below average score in this category. For prospective patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 96.929825 percent of its patients. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.24 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a significantly lower hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's third best category turned out to be short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most critical for residents needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires more highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. It offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. It performed respectably in this metric with 46.2 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
The final area we rated was nursing, which ended up being a low point for this nursing home. We gave this facility a grade of just D for nursing. In calculating our nursing ratings, we analyze both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This place averaged a meager 2.8 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This statistic is significantly below the national average. On top of its weak nursing hour totals, this facility also earned suboptimal marks in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We found that more of this place's residents sustained falls which led to major injury. We believe that many falls could likely be avoided with better nursing care. This metric contributed to this place receiving a poor nursing rating.
