Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. 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
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. This turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home an B-. Our nursing score is based on several subcategories, most of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based measures, such as minimizing major falls. This place performed admirably in this statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also didn't grade out poorly in the area of short-term care. Indeed, we gave it a B- for that category, which wound up being another one of its more respectable grades. With our short-term care rating, we attempt to create a valuable gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. One reason for this nursing home's strong score in this category is that it provides a substantially greater volume of physical therapist hours than the typical facility. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 44.5 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 category we graded is long-term care. This facility received a poor grade of F in that area. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care may not provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes offer. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to just 69.29825 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at limiting hospitalizations. While it had 1.96 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score wasn't bad due to it having more complicated patients. This is its best score in this category
