Facility Inspections
We also wanted to point out that this facility earned near flawless health inspections recently. We gave them an A+ in this category. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This means that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies an immediate risk to resident safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B+ for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Nursing scores are largely associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 3.9 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which was above the national average. Finally, this place was also above average in each of the major quality-based metrics we looked at in this category. For example, it performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a nursing home provides.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also received an impressive short-term care score. Indeed, we gave it an above average grade of B+ in this category. In our short-term care grade, we endeavor to forge a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that it performed better than most facilities in the country in this area with 53.4 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed was long-term care. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a solid grade of B-. This actually ended up being this nursing home's weakest category. Our long-term care ratings are more meaningful for those needing more conventional services associated with personal care. In addition to offering solid levels of nursing care, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 95.454544 percent of its patients. This statistic is higher than most nursing homes. This combination proved to be successful as this nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.74 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
