Facility Inspections
While we gave this place a poor overall grade, we gave it a fairly respectable grade in the category of inspections, where we gave it a B-. This was better than its other category grades. We believe that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient 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 also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing score is primarily associated with a facility's nurse staffing. Based on the data, it looks like this facility provides an impressive 4.1 hours per resident per day. This is more nursing care than most nursing homes provide. In computing our grades, we apply more weight to hours performed by more highly trained nurses such as registered or licensed nurses. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed well in this area. This is generally a reliable indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of moving residents more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B-. In calculating our short-term care grades, we analyze a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This area is more often than not a solid measure of the facility's rehabilitation. One of this nursing home's strengths is physical therapy hours. We found that it offers more hours with physical therapists to its residents than most facilities. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. This place fared well in this metric with 61.8 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the final area, this facility was given a decent long-term care score of B-. In the area of long-term care, we focus on the amount of care offered by a nursing home, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinated 99.62825 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.48 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes.
