Facility Inspections
Although we were not high on this nursing home overall, we gave it a B- for inspections. This score is more respectable than this facility's overall grade. Our inspection ratings are tied to datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
Nurse Quality
We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B-. Nursing grades are primarily based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be accurate indicators of quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The third category we looked at is short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a solid grade of B-. Our short-term care grades are vital for individuals needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires more skilled nursing services. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This place outperformed the majority of facilities in the nation with 55.4 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed is long-term care. For this category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. Our long-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of nursing care. This includes a vast scope of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. After we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.2 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a substantially better hospitalization rate than the average nursing home.
