Facility Inspections
The primary reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its impeccable government inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better grades in that category, with an A. This is a notably better grade than the place's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our nursing category. This is one of our better grades. Nursing ratings are mostly based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next highest area ended up being its short-term care grade, where it received a B-. Our short-term care scores are crucial for people looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that it performed respectably in this area with 45.5 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our fourth category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D in the area of long-term care. This is the nursing home's worst category rating. Unfortunately, this category hurt the facility's overall grade to a certain degree. Nursing homes that do not score well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were disappointed to learn that this nursing home vaccinated just 89.53688 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.49 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
