Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Adding to its profile, this nursing home also earned a grade of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is a well above average score in this area. Our short-term care grades are probably most important for people needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing. This means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This place outperformed the vast majority of facilities in this area with 56 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. The nursing rating weighs many subcategories, many of which are associated with nursing hours. This particular nursing home provided 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some quality-based measures in this category. This nursing home fared well in some of the quality measures we looked at. For example, in terms of the number of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this place performed better than the national average. This is generally an indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented with better nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our final area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D in the area of long-term care. This was the nursing home's least impressive category grade. Naturally, this category hurt the facility's overall profile to some degree. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. One of the data points we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to only 90.804596 percent of its patients. The last datapoint we assessed was the facility's hospitalization rate. We found that this facility had 1.82 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is a higher hospitalization rate than the average nursing home, but it is not quite as bad as we expected.
