Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its impeccable health inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher grades in that area, with an A+. This is a much better grade than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category scores was in the category of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. It actually outpaced most facilities in this category. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we analyze a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is frequently a solid assessment of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Remarkably, this place offers its residents at least one and a half times as many physical therapist hours per week than a typical nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of facilities with 56.8 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most nursing homes.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we awarded this facility a B in our long-term care category. This happens to be one of our better grades. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. On top of very favorable nursing hour statistics, this nursing home's vaccination statistics is superb also. Indeed, it vaccinated 97.716896 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this nursing home had 2.37 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to the next category, we gave this facility a grade of D for nursing. This is the nursing home's weakest category score. Naturally, this grade pulled down the nursing home's overall profile to a certain degree. When computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients as well as the level of skill of those nurses. Quantity of nursing care is not the problem here with this place's grade. This nursing home actually provides an above average 4.1 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Despite performing well in terms of nursing hours, this facility was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and found that this nursing home was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this statistic. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, this statistic pulled down this facility's nursing grade substantially.
