Short-term Care Quality
Even though this facility's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually earned a good score in the category of short-term care. In fact, we awarded it a B for that category, which is one of our better scores. This one of its few redeeming features. Our short-term care scores are based on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. 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. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. This place was above average in this area with 53.3 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. Our nursing grade is primarily tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides an impressive 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also weighed some quality-based measures. This nursing home fared well in some of the quality measures we assessed. In terms of the percentage of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this nursing home outpaced the national average.
Facility Inspections
This facility actually received a decent score in the area of inspections as well. We gave it a B- for that category. This is yet another strong grade for a facility that is quite weak overall. We believe that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 8 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we rated is long-term care, is this facility's least impressive category. We gave this facility a D in that category. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 99.090904 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Unfortunately, this nursing home's hospitalization rate was far less favorable. We found that this nursing home had 2.19 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an alarming rate.
