Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this nursing home an A- for its inspection grade. This grade is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home an B-. When computing our nursing grades, we look at both staffing levels and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This facility provides 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, our nursing ratings also factor in some quality-focused statistics. We especially look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. These statistics are decent measures of the quality of nursing care, since superior care can reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was short-term care, where this nursing home was given a grade of C in this area. Short-term care grades are generally used to grade a facility's rehabilitation services In order to have good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 36.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at was long-term care, was this facility's weakest category. We gave this facility a grade of D in that area. Facilities that do not score well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 91.57303 percent of its patients, which is a bit below what we anticipated. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.22 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
