Facility Inspections
The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection grade. Its inspection score was far superior to its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave it a grade of A. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a favorable score in short-term care. This nursing home earned a grade of B in this area, which is one of our better grades. Our short-term care scores are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that it fared better than most nursing homes in this area with 55.1 percent of its residents returning home. For most nursing homes, less than half of their short-stay residents are able to return 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. Nursing scores are tied to quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home provides 3.2 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, our nursing ratings also consider some quality-focused statistics. We like to look at the percent of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These datapoints are measures of the quality of nursing care, since superior care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we rated is long-term care, which turned out to be this nursing home's worst category. We awarded this nursing home a D in that area. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 94.96403 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.16 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
