Facility Inspections
While this facility earned a decent overall grade, its inspections score is notably better than its overall grade. Due to a strong inspection report this year, it earned one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. This particular nursing home received 10 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.
Short-term Care Quality
This facilities second most favorable area was short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the pack score in this category. In the category of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. This facility was satisfactory in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered a reasonable level of care from both physical therapists and registered nurses. The final metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 44.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
Nurse Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. Nursing ratings are mostly based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these datapoints as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we scored is long-term care. This facility received a grade of C in this area. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 95.567566 percent of its patients. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. We found that this facility had 2.31 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure was not quite as favorable than its other scores in this category.
