Nurse Quality
One of the reasons this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned a very favorable nursing grade. In fact, its nursing score is its best category. In this category, we gave this nursing home a B. There are numerous factors within this category. Most of these subcategories relate to the quantity of nurse staffing. This facility provided 3.2 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 better than average in this area. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
We also awarded this facility a B- for our inspections rating. This is better than the facility's overall grade. Our inspection scores account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a middle of the pack score in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. For prospective patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 98.983055 percent of its residents, which is better than most nursing homes. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. While it had 2.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was better than most nursing homes since it had more complicated patients.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we scored was short-term care. For that category, we gave this nursing home a C. In the category of short-term care, we strive to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. This nursing home is respectable both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. The final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 40.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
