Facility Inspections
This facility's best category grade came in the area of inspections. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B+. It outperformed most facilities in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite minor. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more impressive category scores came in the area of short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a B+. In determining our short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to formulate a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. This nursing home provides a decent amount of services from physical therapists and registered nurses based on our assessment. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who returned home from this nursing home. It performed as well as just about any nursing home with 60.5 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-, which is a decent grade. The nursing grade is based on a handful of subcategories, many of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based measures, such as minimizing major falls. This place performed admirably in this area.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's worst category is long-term care, which is the final area we scored. We gave it a lowly F in this category. In spite of several acceptable grades in other areas, this grade is still alarming so we felt obligated to point it out. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 95.04951 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. While it had 1.91 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric wasn't bad since it had more complicated patients.
