Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A-. Few nursing homes 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 these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong nursing grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B in that category, which is one of our better scores. Our nursing rating is mostly tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 2.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
This facilities third best area is long-term care. We gave it a C in this category. This is essentially a middle of the pack score in this category. In determining our long-term care scores, we assess the facility's personal care services. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility vaccinated 99.78678 percent of its patients, which is an above average datapoint. This facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our last category, this facility was awarded a grade of C in short-term care, which is generally an acceptable grade. Short-term care scores are meaningful for people requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more skilled nursing. This means a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below average.
