Nurse Quality
This facility's nursing grade outpaced its overall rating. In fact, we gave it a grade of B for its nursing score, which is one of our better scores. Our nursing grade weighs a host of subcategories. The most important factor is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This particular nursing home provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. At least one fourth of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are skilled nurses. This is a high percentage of skilled nursing care. In computing our grades, we apply additional weight to care provided by registered nurses. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed better than average in this area. This is often a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also earned favorable health inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a B. This is better than its overall grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are quite insignificant. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's third highest area was short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B-. In determining these short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care from registered nurses than the typical facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 36.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents return home so this facility is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's worst category was long-term care, which is the last category we looked at. In this category, we gave this facility a grade of D. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 70.149254 percent of its patients. This is multiple points lower than what we were hoping for. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.41 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
