Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its impeccable government inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our higher grades in that area, with an A-. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. Our inspection grades account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's better category scores was in the area of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. Short-term care ratings are critical for residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing services. This means a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. 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. The last measure we assessed in this area is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the facility. This place fared better than most nursing homes in this area with 50.7 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of training of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, this facility was relatively weak in some of the major metrics we focus on, with subpar scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our last area, this nursing home didn't fare well. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in long-term care, this was its poorest category grade. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. After we finished assessing the amount of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 99.3266 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 1.46 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
