Facility Inspections
The primary reason this facility received a decent overall score is its impeccable health inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better grades in that category, with an A. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to resident health or safety. A couple relatively minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our nursing category. This is one of our better grades. Nursing grades are mostly tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third most favorable area turned out to be its long-term care grade, where it received a grade of C. In determining our long-term care ratings, we size up the assistance with daily living offered to a facility's patients. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. Although it had 2.17 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was not too bad.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to our last area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D in short-term care. This is the nursing home's least impressive category score. Unfortunately, this grade hurt the facility's overall profile to a certain degree. Short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we discovered that this place provides fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 30.2 percent of its residents returning home.
