Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best category is short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. This is essentially a slightly below average score in this category. Our short-term care grades are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical facility. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This proved to be more of a strength for this facility. In fact, we found that it outperformed the majority of nursing homes in the country with 52 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was given its third highest category score in the category of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of C in this area, which is an acceptable grade. Our long-term care grades are based on a facility's amount of nursing care. This means a broad range of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine medical services. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home gave the vaccine to just 85.19737 percent of its residents. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 1.36 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
This facility's worst category was nursing, which is the last category we scored. For this area, we gave this facility a grade of just D. Our nursing score weighs quite a few factors, however, the most important consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This place provided just 3.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Unfortunately, this facility also had terrible marks in some of the quality-based metrics to go along with its weak nursing hours. We looked at the percentage of residents suffering pressure ulcers and we were quite disappointed. This nursing home was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this area.
