Facility Inspections
While this place's overall score was not a highlight, it received a somewhat respectable grade in the category of inspections. We awarded it a B- for that category, which is a decent score. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Another area of concern is that CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is not a bad score. Our nursing grade is mostly associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. According to its staffing data, this nursing home provided an average of 5.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Roughly one quarter of this care came from registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. Both of these figures are higher than average. Finally, we also factored a few quality measures into our nursing grades. This facility was relatively weak in two of the major datapoints we focus on, with subpar scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are often reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care offered.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third highest category was its short-term care grade, where it was given a grade of B-. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. This nursing home provided more registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. This is what we like to find when assessing a nursing home in this category. Finally, we looked at the number of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. In addition to performing well in the area of physical therapy hours, we found that it also performed well in this area with 62.9 percent of its patients returning home. Most facilities are below 50 percent in this statistic.
Long-term Care Quality
Our next category is long-term care, where we gave this facility a C in that category. Long-term care ratings are crucial for residents seeking personal care. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is more than the average nursing home. This nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.96 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
