Facility Inspections
This facility's overall grade was propped up by the fact that it has received favorable health inspections in recent years. We gave it a strong score in that area, with a B+. This is a notably better score than the nursing home's overall grade. Inspection grades are tied to several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong nursing grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B in that category, which is one of our better scores. Nursing scores are primarily associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. With 4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this facility was above the national average. Lastly, this facility appears to be above average in several of the major quality-based metrics we assessed in this area. It fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
This facilities third best area is short-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this area. Short-term care ratings are important for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This includes a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, we found that this nursing home provided respectable levels of physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 34 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed was long-term care, which was a weak link for this facility. We awarded this facility a grade of D in 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 measures relating to patient care. Once we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 93.44263 percent of its residents against pneumonia. The last datapoint we looked at is its hospitalization rate. We found that this place had 1.75 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is a higher hospitalization rate than most nursing homes, but it is not as bad as we feared it might be.
