Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also performed well in the category of long-term care, with a strong score of A- in this category. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 99.57447 percent of its residents, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. The last datapoint we assessed was the nursing home's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 2.68 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
The third highest area we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a C. In computing our short-term care grades, we assess a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This grade is generally a useful assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we looked at in this category is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This facility performed better in this statistic. We found that it performed better than most nursing homes in this metric with 53.5 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, at most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to our fourth area, this facility didn't perform very well. With a poor grade of F in nursing, this was this nursing home's poorest category grade. When determining our nursing ratings, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This place provided a meager 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is well below average. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility.
