Facility Inspections
To pair with its strong overall performance, we awarded this facility an A for the area of inspections. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few relatively minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Among the reasons we graded this facility so well is that it received a strong short-term care grade. Indeed, short-term care is its second most impressive category grade. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a score of A-. Short-term care grades are vital for prospective residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of care from registered nurses to its residents. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the overwhelming majority of nursing homes in the nation in this area with 59 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this area. The nursing rating is based on a handful of datapoints, most of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This place provides an impressive 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Out of this total, more than one quarter of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is among the most skilled levels of nurses. We add more weight to hours provided by skilled nurses in determining our nursing scores. Lastly, we also assessed certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these statistics as good measures of the quality of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the fourth category, this nursing home did not fare well. Due to a poor grade of F in this area, this is obviously this nursing home's worst grade. Long-term care ratings in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. We were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated 72.844826 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be significantly less than average. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.96 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
