Facility Inspections
While this nursing home earned a decent overall score, its inspections rating is notably better than its overall score. Due to a strong health inspection report this year, it earned one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received an impressive score in our long-term care category. We awarded this nursing home a better than average grade of B in that area. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is usually a good sign for resident care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the statistics we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a reliable method to avoid negative health outcomes for the elderly population. The last datapoint we looked at was the nursing home's hospitalization rate. We found that this place had 3.44 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. While this wasn't as strong as some of its other scores in this category, this figure may be skewed for some nursing homes due to the medical complexity of patients.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing rating consists of a handful of factors, but the most important consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provides an impressive 4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. Lastly, we also looked at a few quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility was above average in several of the major areas we focus on, including minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These metrics are often accurate indicators of the quality of nursing care offered.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed was short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a C. Our short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 36.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually below the national average.
