Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A+. Few facilities performed better in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a strong score in our long-term care category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B in this area. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 95.652176 percent of its residents, which is better than the average nursing home. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.47 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. Our nursing rating focuses on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This facility provided just 3.1 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is significantly below average. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed is short-term care. We gave this nursing home a D for short-term care, making this the nursing home's weakest category grade. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. In this facility's case, it looks like it provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
