Facility Inspections
In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, this place especially excelled in our inspections category, where it received an A+. Not many facilities fared better in that category. Our inspection scores account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category usually have few severe deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
An additional strong feature for this nursing home is that it was given a favorable long-term care score. In fact, this proved to be its second best category score. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. Once we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 98.93617 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a life or death ailment for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.07 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. In determining our nursing grades, we assess both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home averages 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed a few nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these datapoints. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared well in this metric.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we scored was short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. This place was above average in this area with 53.4 percent of its patients returning home.
