Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a B- for our inspections rating. This grade is better than this place's overall grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. 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 of these end up being quite minor. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Our nursing rating is primarily based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. According to its CMS reports, this facility provided an average of 5.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which was above average. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these datapoints as predictive measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
The third area we analyzed was short-term care, where this facility was awarded a grade of B- in this area. Our short-term care scores are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a vast scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Remarkably, this facility provides its residents with at least 50% more physical therapist hours per week than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was long-term care. This nursing home received a grade of B- for the category. In calculating our long-term care grades, we size up the personal care received by a nursing home's residents. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 91.111115 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be slightly below what we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Although it had 2.88 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was better than most nursing homes due to it having more complicated patients.
