Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Our inspection grades account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. This nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies an immediate risk to resident safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home really excelled in the category of short-term care, where it received a grade of A-. Only a select group of facilities performed better in this area. Our short-term care grades are believed to be more important for patients needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires more highly-skilled nursing services. This means not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from this facility. It performed better than most facilities in the country in this area with 51 percent of its patients able to return home.
Nurse Quality
This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B+. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home provides 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some quality-based measures in this category. This place fared well in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. For example, in terms of the percentage of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this facility performed better than the national average. This is generally an indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided with better nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we rated was long-term care. We gave this facility one of our better scores in this category, with a B. This nursing home turned out to be strong in each area we assessed. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are well cared for. Once we assessed the volume of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 96.33803 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a life threatening condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. This nursing home was also able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.34 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
