Facility Inspections
The primary reason this facility received a decent overall score is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our higher scores in that category, with a grade of A. This is a much better score than the place's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the area of long-term care, we awarded this nursing home a score of A- in that category. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are kept in good health. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 97.515526 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a life threatening illness for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. This facility also keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.49 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's third best score is short-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this category, it still fared somewhat badly. In computing our short-term care grades, we look at a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This rating is typically a meaningful assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well in this area. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to our last area, we awarded this facility a grade of D in the area of nursing. This was the nursing home's least impressive category score. Unfortunately, this grade hurt the facility's overall grade to some degree. The nursing category weighs several components, most of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This place provided just 3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an alarmingly low total. On top of its below average nursing hours, this facility earned poor marks in several of the quality-based measures we considered in computing our nursing grades. We found that more of this place's patients suffered falls leading to serious injury. We believe that many falls could likely be avoided with better nursing care. This metric contributed to this place receiving a poor nursing grade.
