Facility Inspections
In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, this place really excelled in our inspections category, where it earned an A. Not many facilities fared better in this area. Our inspection ratings are based on many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this area have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple minor dings are not necessarily something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was given a strong long-term care grade as well. We gave it one of our better grades in that category with a score of B+. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure residents are well cared for. This nursing home's vaccination records weren't as favorable a few of the other datapoints in this area, such as its number of nursing hours per resident. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 83.950615 percent of its patients. We'd like to see some improvement in this area next year. Lastly, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 2.98 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. While this wasn't as strong as most of its other scores in this category, this number can be skewed for some facilities due to the medical complexity of residents.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. While this wasn't quite as good as some of its other category grades, this isn't a bad score either. Nursing scores are based largely on nurse staffing levels. This facility provides an impressive 4.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a greater quantity of nursing care than that offered by most nursing homes. Lastly, we also baked a few quality measures into our nursing grades. This nursing home was relatively weak in two of the major areas we focus on, with below average figures for minimizing its patients' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed was short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. With our short-term care grade, we try to craft a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, we found that this nursing home provided respectable levels of physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 43.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
