Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this nursing home's overall score, it received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that category with a grade of A. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid places that had too many deficiencies. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second most favorable area is long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a C. For prospective patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 98.591545 percent of its patients. The last statistic we looked at is the facility's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 3 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this figure is somewhat concerning, this statistic may be skewed for some nursing homes due to the medical complexity of patients.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second least favorable score was short-term care, where it earned just a D in that area. This is a relatively poor grade. Our short-term care scores are believed to be more critical for folks in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Given its grade in this area, we were not surprised to find that this place is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the figures we assessed. Honestly, this was what we expected here. The final metric we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. It performed better in this area, with 51.7 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
The final area we scored is nursing, in which this facility received a very poor grade in this area as well. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is definitely a major disappointment. In calculating a facility's nursing rating, we look at the amount of time nurses commit to residents and the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provides 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is slightly below average. In addition to receiving below average scores for total nursing hours, this place was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents suffering pressure ulcers and found that this nursing home was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this metric.
