Facility Inspections
While this facility earned a decent overall rating, its inspections rating is notably more impressive than its overall grade. Due to a strong government inspection report this year, it earned one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B+. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B. We weighed the licensure of nurses employed by the nursing home, as well as the number of hours those nurses were with residents, in computing our grade in this area. This facility provided 4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which was above the national average. Lastly, this facility also performed well in several of the quality measures we assessed. For example, in terms of the percentage of its residents suffering falls leading to serious injury, this facility performed as well as just about any facility we assessed. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Serious falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a decent score in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. Short-term care scores are important for people requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. We found that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that it performed respectably in this metric with 49.1 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at is long-term care, which was a weak spot for this nursing home. We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D in long-term care. Nursing homes that don't fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. This nursing home's vaccination statistics weren't as favorable some of its other data points in this area, such as its nursing hours. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 81.856544 percent of its residents. We would like to see some improvement in this area in the future. Surprisingly, this facility wasn't as bad as we expected at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Although it had 2.71 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was not bad since it had some more complicated patients.
