Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place really excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A+. Few facilities performed better in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite minor. While this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also excelled in the area of long-term care. For this reason, we gave it a grade of A in that area, which happens to be one of our most impressive scores. When facilities receive this type of score in this category it is typically a good sign for patient care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.549545 percent of its residents. This is a great way to minimize unnecessary hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. The last statistic we looked at is the nursing home's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 1.76 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is close to average in this area.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing grade. In fact, we gave this facility an D. We weighed the skill-level of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses worked with patients, in computing our score in this area. This facility provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place was above average in two of the metrics we focus on, with good scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's worst area is short-term care, which is the last category we analyzed. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this category. In spite of some respectable scores in other categories, this grade is nevertheless concerning so we wanted to make a note of it. Our short-term care scores are likely most critical for folks in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional skilled nursing services. This means not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 40.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
