Nurse Quality
Even though we gave this nursing home a poor overall grade, we gave it a fairly respectable grade in nursing, where it received a grade of B-. This was better than its other category grades. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with quality and quantity of nursing care. According to its staffing data, this facility provided an average of 4.6 hours of nursing care per patient daily. Approximately one quarter of this care came from registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. Both of these figures are higher than average. Lastly, we also looked at a few nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these datapoints. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed well in this area. This is usually a reliable indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a system of moving a patient even once per day.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this nursing home's more favorable category grades was in the category of short-term care. This proved to be its second most respectable category. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B-. In determining our short-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to devise a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. This place performed respectably in this area with 45.7 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home earned slightly below average government inspections in recent years. We gave them a C in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. This nursing home had 2 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This means the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident health or safety. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we scored was long-term care. We awarded this facility a C in that category. Our long-term care scores are based on the facility's amount of nursing care. This means a vast spectrum of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 92.805756 percent of its residents. This is a bit lower than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.56 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
