Facility Inspections
The main reason this facility received a decent overall score is its excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher grades in that area, with an A. This is a much better grade than the place's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a positive long-term care grade. Indeed, we awarded it a B in this category, which happens to be one of our better. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. Although we determined this nursing home has an above average quantity of nursing hours provided by nurses and other nursing staff, we found its vaccination rate to be a bit below average. This facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 84.89011 percent of its residents. This is one figure we'd like to see this facility improve. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 3.26 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. While this wasn't as impressive as most of its other scores in this category, this figure can be skewed for some facilities due to the preexisting medical conditions of residents.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. There are several subcategories included in this area. Many of these subcategories reflect levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 4.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which was among the higher totals we found. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality measures, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding serious falls is usually an indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we graded is short-term care. This nursing home received a C in this category. In determining our short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to formulate a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 37 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually below the national average.
