Nurse Quality
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the area of nursing. In fact, we gave it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. The nursing grade weighs numerous subcategories. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home averages 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed better than average in this area. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
This facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of B+. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next best area ended up being its long-term care grade, where it was given a B-. In the area of long-term care, we analyze the amount of services provided by a facility, as opposed to more healthcare-oriented services. After considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. Unfortunately, this facility vaccinated only 37.086555 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 1.57 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
Our last category is short-term care, in which we gave this facility a grade of C in this category. Our short-term care scores are likely more meaningful for folks needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 30.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
