Facility Inspections
Although we gave this nursing home a weak overall rating, we awarded it a somewhat respectable grade in the category of inspections, where it received a grade of B-. This was quite a bit better than its other categories. Inspection scores are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. Our nursing grade is largely based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides an impressive 4.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these metrics. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third best area turned out to be its short-term care grade, where it was awarded a grade of B-. Short-term care ratings are critical for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. The last item we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 44.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we graded is long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a B-. Our long-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of nursing care. This means a broad scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 97.28507 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is better than the average nursing home. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.71 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes.
