Facility Inspections
Although we didn't rate this facility favorably overall, we did give it an excellent grade in the category of inspections, where it earned a grade of A-. Inspection scores are tied to items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies associated with risks to resident well being. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even with this deficiency, this nursing home still received a relatively favorable inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's long-term care rating is one of its higher grades. The nursing home received a grade of C in this area. For long-term care residents, the primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the factors we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 92.52577 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had just 1.53 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. The nursing score is based on a host of subcategories. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This particular nursing home provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as minimizing major falls. This facility performed admirably in this statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we graded was short-term care, which proved to be this nursing home's worst category. We awarded this facility a D in this area. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Considering its score in this category, we were not stunned to learn that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the figures we looked at. Frankly, this was about what we expected to find. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 37.9 percent of its residents returning home.
