Long-term Care Quality
We gave this nursing home an impressive grade of A- for our long-term care grade. This grade is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are well cared for. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 99.23664 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. The last datapoint we looked at is the nursing home's hospitalization rate. We found that this place had 1.78 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is middle of the pack in this area.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home's inspection rating exceeded its overall score as well. We gave them one of our better grades in that category, with a B. This is a notably better score than its overall score. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area usually have few severe deficiencies. This place received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Nurse Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. Our nursing score includes a variety of factors. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics and this facility excelled in some of these subcategories. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed well in this datapoint.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's weakest category was short-term care, which is the final area we scored. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this area. In spite of multiple acceptable scores in other areas, this grade is still of a concern so we felt obligated to draw your attention to it. With our short-term care score, we attempt to craft a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Given its score in this area, we were not stunned to discover that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the data we looked at. Honestly, this was about what we expected here. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 26.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
