Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home also received top notch health inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our higher scores in this area, with a grade of A+. Inspection ratings are based on pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. We weren't able to track down deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility really excelled in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a score of A-. Not many facilities performed better in this area. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 86.06061 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is a few points lower than we expected but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 1.46 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. Our nursing grade focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This facility provided just 2.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, we look at quality-based metrics, such as the percent of patients who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. These metrics are decent measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our next category, this nursing home really did not fare very well. Due to an abysmal grade of F in that category, this was notably this facility's poorest grade. With our short-term care rating, we attempt to forge a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. In this nursing home's case, it looks like it offers fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 31.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
