Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite minor. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Nurse Quality
Another one of this nursing home's stronger areas was in the category of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B. Our nursing grade analyzes the facility's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This particular facility provided 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which was above the national average. Finally, this facility also fared very well in most of the quality-based metrics we looked at. By way of illustration, it had a low number of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The next best category we gave this nursing home in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. Our short-term care grades are vital for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. This means a vast range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 39.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the fourth category, we gave this facility a D for long-term care. This is the nursing home's least impressive category score. Long-term care grades in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. This nursing home's vaccination statistics were not as impressive as its nursing hours data. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 78.11448 percent of its residents. We'd love to see some improvement in this area next year. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.14 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
