Facility Inspections
This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless health inspection reports in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's better category scores was in the area of long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B. It actually fared better than most facilities in this category. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 97.53087 percent of its patients, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 1.05 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a substantially lower hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third highest area came in the area of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a C. In calculating our short-term care scores, we scrutinize a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This rating is generally a meaningful measure of a facility's rehabilitation services. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who returned home from the nursing home. It fared much better in this area with 59.1 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's worst category was nursing, which is the final area we scored. For this category, we awarded this nursing home a D. Nursing scores are mostly based on the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home was above average in two of the major data points we focus on, with solid marks for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
