Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its impeccable health inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher grades in that area, with an A+. This is a much better grade than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we also wanted to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was awarded favorable long-term care marks in this assessment. We gave them one of our more favorable scores in this area, with a B+. This turned out to be the facility's second best score. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. After we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 37.735847 percent of its patients against pneumonia. The last datapoint we assessed was its hospitalization rate. We found that this nursing home had 2.05 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing rating. We gave this facility a score of D. Our nursing rating includes a number of subcategories. The most important factor is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This particular nursing home averaged just 2.8 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This number is far below average. On top of its weak nursing hour totals, this place earned suboptimal scores in some of the quality-based measures we considered in computing our nursing grades. We found that a higher percentage of this nursing home's patients experienced falls which led to serious injury.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's least impressive category is short-term care, which is the final area we scored. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this area. Despite a few decent grades in other categories, this grade is still concerning so we wanted to make a note of it. Our short-term care grades are based on a facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Considering its score in this category, we weren't stunned to discover that this facility is well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Frankly, this was what we expected here. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below the national average.
