Facility Inspections
Although we didn't rate this facility favorably overall, we did give it an excellent grade in the area of inspections, where it earned an A-. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid nursing homes with a list of deficiencies flagged. This particular nursing home received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Nursing scores are mostly tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This place provides only 3.2 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat alarming figure which is well below the national average. Lastly, while this facility did not rank highly in terms of nursing hours, it performed much better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In terms of the number of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this nursing home performed better than average.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second least favorable score was short-term care, where it received a grade of just D in that category. This is a well below average score. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. We found that this place was below average in multiple staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Lastly, 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 29.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we scored was long-term care, which ended up being a weak link for this facility. We gave this nursing home a grade of just D for long-term care. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means the facility didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to patient care. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility administered the vaccine to only 79.2 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 1.6 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
