Facility Inspections
On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this place really excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A+. Not many nursing homes performed better in that area. Our inspection grades are based on many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this area have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was given impressive scores in the area of long-term care as well. As a result, it received one of our most superb scores in that category with a score of A. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are well cared for. After we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 99.08257 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a life or death health condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. The last datapoint we assessed was the nursing home's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 3.69 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Although this admittedly wasn't as strong as some of its other scores in this category, this number may be skewed for some facilities based on some of the preexisting medical conditions of residents.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded its next highest category grade in the category of short-term care. We gave this facility a C in this area, which is a respectable score. Short-term care scores are important for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional skilled nursing. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The last statistic we considered in this category is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 41.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's weakest category was nursing, which is the last area we scored. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this category. In spite of multiple strong scores in other categories, this grade is still a bit disappointing so we felt obligated to point it out. Our nursing score analyzes the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of skill of those nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home averages 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below the national average. Unfortunately, this nursing home also did not fare as well as we had hoped in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in this category.
