Facility Inspections
Although we gave this nursing home a poor overall rating, we awarded it a fairly respectable score in the category of inspections, where it received a B-. This was better than its other category grades. Our inspection grades are tied to several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. This proved to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this facility an B-. Our nursing grade focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. With 4.6 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this place surpassed the national average. We also look at the skill levels of nurses and apply more weight to hours worked by skilled nurses. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based measures, such as minimizing major falls. This facility performed admirably in this metric. Avoiding major falls is usually an indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Many falls can be prevented if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed is short-term care, where this nursing home received a grade of B- in this area. Our short-term care ratings are presumably most meaningful for those requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. This nursing home boosted its score in this category by offering more physical therapy hours to its residents than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from this facility. On top of performing well in the area of physical therapy hours, we found that it also performed well in this area with 63.4 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we scored is long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B-. In the area of long-term care, we focus more on the quantity of services offered by a nursing home, as opposed to more sophisticated services. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.45 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
