Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually received a very good grade in the area of inspections. In fact, we gave it a B+ for that area, which is one of our better scores. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This means that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a positive grade in short-term care. This nursing home received a B in this area, which turns out to be one of our more impressive scores. Our short-term care scores are based on a facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Remarkably, this facility offers its residents at least 50% more physical therapist hours per week than a typical facility. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of facilities in the nation in this area with 61.2 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
We were stunned to find that this nursing home also excelled in nursing. In fact, we gave it a score of D for that category, which is one of our best grades. The nursing grade includes several factors. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is slightly below the national average. Unfortunately, this place also had terrible marks in some of the quality-based metrics to go along with its weak nursing hour totals. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers. This nursing home was at more than double the national average in this metric. This is quite alarming when you consider that so many bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the facility's fate of earning a very weak nursing rating.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the final category, this facility didn't perform very well in this area either. With a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this is about as as uninspiring as it gets. Facilities that don't fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 89.64497 percent of its patients. This is pretty significantly less than what we were hoping for. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at limiting hospitalizations. Although it had 1.83 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was not bad since it had more complex patients. This was its best feature in this category
