Facility Inspections
Although we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a B- for inspections. This score is more respectable than the facility's overall grade. Our inspection grades are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Our nursing grade is mostly tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. According to CMS records, this nursing home averaged 4.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. Keep in mind that when we calculate our nursing scores, we apply more weight to hours performed by nurses with a higher level of training. Lastly, our nursing grades also include quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed better than average in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility was given its next best category score in the category of short-term care. We awarded this facility a B- in this area, which is a respectable score. In the area of short-term care, we seek to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. One of this nursing home's strengths is physical therapy hours. We found that it offers at least 50% more hours with physical therapists to its residents than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. It performed decently in this area, with 46.7 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we graded is long-term care. This nursing home was awarded a B- in the area. Long-term care grades are used to grade a facility's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services provided by a rehabilitation facility. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 94.65875 percent of its residents. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 3.38 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this figure is quite a bit higher than the national average, this number may be skewed for some facilities due to the preexisting medical conditions of patients.
