Facility Inspections
Although this place's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually received a somewhat respectable score in the area of inspections. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is a decent score. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Another red flag is that CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. Nursing scores are mostly tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. According to CMS data, this nursing home averaged 4.6 hours of nursing care per patient each day. Approximately one quarter of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are among the more highly skilled nurses. These are both above average figures. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed admirably in this area. Avoiding serious falls is usually a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home offers enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given its third most favorable category score in the area of short-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of B- in this category, which is an acceptable score. In computing our short-term care grades, we size up a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This score is often a fair assessment of a facility's rehabilitation. This facility provided more registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it outperformed most nursing homes in this metric with 73.3 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we assessed is long-term care. For that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. After we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 99.545456 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 1.12 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a much better hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.
