Facility Inspections
The primary reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our higher grades in that area, with an A-. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category tend to have few severe deficiencies. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong nursing grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B in that category, which is one of our better scores. Nursing grades are largely tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which was above the national average. Lastly, we also factored some quality measures into our nursing scores. This nursing home was relatively weak in two of the metrics we assess, with below average percentages for minimizing its patients' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are usually reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care available.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's third best category turned out to be short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. In computing these short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. One of this nursing home's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it offers more care from registered nurses to its residents than most facilities. The last item we assessed in this category is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 39.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's least impressive category was long-term care, which is the final category we scored. It received a lowly F in this area. Even with several solid scores in other areas, this grade is nevertheless of a concern so we would like to to draw your attention to it. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 97.406815 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.56 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
