Facility Inspections
While we were not very complementary of this facility's overall grade, it received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our best grades in that category with an A. Inspection scores account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid nursing homes with too many severe deficiencies flagged. This place was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. Nursing scores are mostly associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, our nursing ratings also factor in quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. While this nursing home didn't have as many nursing hours as many other nursing homes we looked at, it was still better than average in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator of how carefully a facility's nursing staff is tending to its patients. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses and safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's third highest area was its short-term care score, where it was awarded a C. With our short-term care score, we endeavor to craft a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. One of this nursing home's strengths is physical therapy hours. We found that it offers more hours with physical therapists to its residents than most facilities. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This place performed decently in this area, with 45.4 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the fourth area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D for long-term care. This is the facility's least impressive category score. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinated 99.73475 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.87 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
