Facility Inspections
While we didn't give this facility a good overall score, we did give it a strong grade in the category of inspections, where it earned a grade of B+. Our inspection scores are based on datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities that have severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second highest area came in the area of short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a B-. Short-term care grades are meaningful for people in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires more highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The important question is whether this also affected quality of care. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from this nursing home and discovered this was this facility's strongest datapoint within this category. We found that it fared well in this metric with 62.9 percent of its residents returning home. Most facilities are below 50 percent in this metric.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. When computing our nursing grades, we analyze both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This particular facility provided just 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is significantly below average. Finally, although this nursing home got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of our quality measures. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this area.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's worst category was long-term care, which is the final category we assessed. In this area, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. For patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 98.46154 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility also keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
