Facility Inspections
To pair with its decent overall score, we awarded this facility an A- for our inspections rating. This is far better than its overall score. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received a strong score in our long-term care category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B in this area. When facilities receive this kind of score in long-term care it is a good sign for resident care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 96.733665 percent of its residents. This is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary deaths for the senior population. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Although it had 1.89 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was better than most facilities since it had more complicated patients.
Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. Nursing ratings are based in large part on quantity of nursing care available. This facility provided just 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a low total compared with most other nursing homes. Finally, we like to look at quality-based metrics, such as the percentage of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. These metrics are decent measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the last category, this nursing home was given a respectable short-term care grade of C. Short-term care scores are crucial for patients looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of physical therapy per week to its residents. The last measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. It was respectable in this area with 46.7 percent of its residents returning home.
