Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this place also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A-. Few facilities performed better in this category. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category scores was in the area of long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in this category it is a good sign for resident care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 95.4023 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is better than most nursing homes. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.29 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Our nursing grade is based on many datapoints. The most important factor is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This particular nursing home provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also considered quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home was above average in many of the major metrics we assessed, including minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's worst area was short-term care, which is the last category we scored. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of just D. Our short-term care grades are believed to be most critical for individuals needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This means not only nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. This was not a strength either for this nursing home. We found that just 48.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is below average.
