Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility really excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A. Few facilities performed better in this category. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means that 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 should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second best category is short-term care. We awarded it a C in this area. This is basically a slightly below average score in this area. In our short-term care grade, we strive to forge a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that it performed decently in this area, with 47.5 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. When determining a facility's nursing rating, we look at the amount of time nurses commit to residents as well as the levels of training of those nurses. This nursing home provides 3.2 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, we look at quality-based metrics, such as the percentage of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these statistics are indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's least impressive area is long-term care, which is the last category we looked at. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this category. Despite several respectable grades in other categories, this score is nevertheless disappointing so we would like to to point it out. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 99.10314 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is higher than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.68 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
