Facility Inspections
We would like to point out that this facility's inspection grade exceeded its overall score. This facility earned a B in this area, which is one of our better grades. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 7 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.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong grade in our nursing category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B in this area. The nursing score includes numerous factors. The most important factor is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded its third most favorable category score in the category of long-term care. We gave this nursing home a B- in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable score. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the final category, this facility was awarded a decent short-term care grade of B-. In calculating our short-term care scores, we scrutinize the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This category is considered to be a fair assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The tricky part is determining what effect this had on quality of care. The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This facility performed better in this statistic. We found that it performed better than most nursing homes in this metric with 51.3 percent of its residents returning home.
