Nurse Quality
Although we didn't give this nursing home a good overall score, we did give it a very strong grade in nursing, where it earned a B. This is better than most nursing homes in this area. Our nursing rating analyzes several components, but the most important one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 2.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
Surprisingly, this facility actually received a good score in the area of inspections as well. In fact, we gave it a grade of B for that category, which is one of our better scores. Few facilities that were this poor overall earned multiple category grades of this caliber. Our inspection scores are tied to many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities with severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a solid score in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a C. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to assess a facility's performance with rehabilitation In order to have highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 39.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we rated was long-term care, proved to be this nursing home's worst area. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in this area. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means the facility didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to resident care. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 43.369175 percent of its residents. This is many points below the national average. Lastly, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this nursing home fared poorly with 3.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, this figure is nearly twice the national average.
