Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it an A- for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid nursing homes that had a long list of deficiencies. This place was assessed 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility an D. Our nursing grade is primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This place averaged just 3.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This facility performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second least favorable score is short-term care, where it received just a D in that category. This is a relatively poor grade. Our short-term care ratings are vital for prospective residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing services. This means a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. With its grade in this category, we were not stunned to discover that this facility is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the figures we looked at. Frankly, this was about what we expected here. The last area we looked at in this area is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that it fared better in this area, with 56.7 percent of its patients returning home. This was just about this nursing home's only redeeming quality in this area.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we graded was long-term care, is this facility's weakest category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in this category. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care may not provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes offer. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated 89.07104 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is quite a bit lower than what we expected. Unfortunately, this place's hospitalization rate was also a cause for concern. Here we found that this facility had 2.25 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an alarming rate.
