Facility Inspections
On top of having a decent overall grade, we also would like to point out that this facility received favorable inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better scores in that area, with a B+. This is a much better grade than the nursing home's overall score. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's better category scores came in the category of short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this category. In determining our short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This score is more often than not a reliable measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. This place was above average with 55.9 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our nursing grade looks at the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of training of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed admirably in this area. Avoiding major falls is generally a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a nursing home offers enough nurses to assist its residents.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we rated was long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of C in this category. Long-term care scores are crucial for people requiring non-healthcare services such as personal care. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is a very solid total. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Although it had 1.96 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was better than the majority of nursing homes due to it having more complex patients.
