Facility Inspections
The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its impeccable inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of A. This is a much better grade than the place's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple minor dings aren't something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a strong score in our short-term care category. We gave this nursing home an above average grade of B+ in that area. In computing our short-term care grades, we analyze a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This score is considered to be a reliable assessment of the facility's rehabilitation services. This place offered more physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This place performed respectably with 47 percent of its patients able to return home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong grade in our nursing category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B in this area. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with quality and quantity of nursing care. 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 many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's least impressive area was long-term care, which is the last area we scored. We gave it an abysmal F in this area. Even with several respectable scores in other areas, this grade is still alarming so we felt obligated to point it out. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in this category it is a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the place is not as well-staffed. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 93.35348 percent of its patients, which is slightly below what we were hoping for. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.74 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
