Facility Inspections
The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection score. In fact, its inspection score was far superior to its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave it an A. Inspection ratings are tied to several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an immediate threat to resident health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Nurse Quality
This facility performed well in nursing. In fact, we awarded it an B- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. In computing a nursing home's nursing score, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are caring for residents as well as the level of skill of those nurses. This nursing home provides only 2.6 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below average. Lastly, our nursing grades also consider some quality-focused statistics. We look at the percent of patients who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. These metrics are measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care can reduce these issues.
Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home's third best score was short-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this area, it still performed somewhat badly. Short-term care scores are critical for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provides fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 36.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed is long-term care, which turned out to be this facility's weakest area. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in that area. Nursing homes that don't score well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. One of the criteria we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 92.57143 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 1.5 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
