Facility Inspections
In addition to earning a great overall score, this facility fared even better in our inspections category which is associated with the facility's recent government inspection reports. We gave it an A+ for this area, which is one of our highest grades. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This means the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing rating. We gave it an B in that category. Our nursing grade is largely based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed better than average in this area. This is often a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a middle of the road score in the category of short-term care, with a B-. Our short-term care grades are likely more critical for those needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. 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 percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. It performed more favorably in this area. We found it was above average in this area with 55.9 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed was long-term care. This facility was awarded a grade of B- in the category. In the area of long-term care, we focus on the quantity of care provided by a facility, as opposed to more medically-intensive services. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were disappointed to learn that this nursing home vaccinated just 75.81699 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 1.23 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a much lower hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.
