Nurse Quality
Although we were down on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a B in nursing. There are many datapoints within this area. Many of the subcategories reflect nurse staffing. This nursing home provides an impressive 4.2 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Finally, this place also fared even better in most of the quality measures we assessed. By way of illustration, it had a low rate of residents sustaining both major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's long-term care score ended up being one of its better grades. The facility was awarded a B- in this area. For prospective residents seeking a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 99.15254 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.58 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home.
Facility Inspections
This facility earned mediocre inspections in recent years. We gave them a grade of C in this category. Inspection scores are tied to several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This nursing home had 4 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This indicates that this facility dodged the more significant categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at was short-term care, which turned out to be a weak spot for this facility. We awarded this facility a grade of just D for our short-term care category. Our short-term care grades are important for residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional highly-skilled nursing. This includes a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Not surprisingly based on its grade in this category, this place was well below average in one of the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility supplied significantly fewer registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well in this area. In fact, we found that just 31.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
