Long-term Care Quality
We awarded this facility one of our better scores in long-term care, where it received a grade of A. This is a notably better grade than the nursing home's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. On top of offering elite levels of nursing care, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 99.54023 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.48 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also excelled in inspections, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Inspection scores weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category tend to have very few severe deficiencies. While this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. In determining our nursing scores, we assess both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of the nurses. With 4.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the vast majority of facilities. Finally, our nursing ratings also factor in quality measures, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed better than average in this area. This is generally an accurate indicator of how carefully a nursing home's nursing staff is tending to its residents. Major falls can generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's least impressive category was short-term care, which is the last category we assessed. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this category. Even with multiple decent scores in other categories, this score is still of a concern so we would like to to point it out. In determining our short-term care grades, we size up the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This score is typically a meaningful measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 32.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
