Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place really excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A. Few facilities performed better in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite minor. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's more favorable category grades came in the area of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. It actually outpaced most nursing homes in this category. In determining our short-term care grades, we size up a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This category is more often than not a fair measure of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This proved to be a real strength for this nursing home. It outperformed the vast majority of facilities in the country with 58.1 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. Our nursing grade weighs numerous subcategories. The most heavily weighted one is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these datapoints as good measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we graded is long-term care, was this facility's weakest area. We awarded this facility a D in this area. This really was one of just a couple of dings of a strong report card. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 97.25275 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.08 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
