Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to draw your attention to its nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A- in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a positive long-term care grade. As a matter of fact, we awarded them a grade of B in that category, which is one of our better. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure residents are well cared for. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 99.710144 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. This place was also able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 1.59 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
Our next area we looked at was short-term care, where this facility received an F. In our short-term care rating, we endeavor to forge a fair measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze the facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. With a score of this caliber in this area, we were not stunned to find this place was below average in multiple staffing figures we assess. The nursing home provided substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 37.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
The next area we graded is nursing. This nursing home received an abysmal grade of F in that category. When calculating a facility's nursing score, we assess the amount of time nurses are seeing patients and the level of skill of those nurses. This nursing home provided only 3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is an alarmingly low total. On top of its below average nursing hour totals, this place earned poor scores in several of the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We found that a higher percentage of this facility's residents sustained falls leading to serious injury. We would argue that many falls could likely be avoided with better nursing care. This metric contributed to this nursing home receiving a terrible nursing score.
