Facility Inspections
While we didn't give this nursing home a good overall score, we actually gave it a relatively strong grade in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid places that have too many deficiencies. This place was hit with 9 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. Our nursing rating is primarily based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also weighed some quality-based assessments. This facility performed well in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In terms of the number of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this nursing home performed better than the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The third area we looked at was long-term care, where this nursing home received a grade of B- in this category. For patients seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. The last statistic we assessed was the facility's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this place had 4.23 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this figure is somewhat concerning, this statistic can be skewed for some facilities based on the preexisting medical conditions of residents.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we graded was short-term care, which turned out to be this facility's weakest area. We gave this nursing home a D in this category. With our short-term care rating, we try to forge a valuable measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. In this place's case, we found that it provided less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 26.9 percent of its patients returning home.
