Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a grade of B+ for our inspections category. This score is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall score. Our inspection grades account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid nursing homes with too many deficiencies flagged. This place was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
The second best area we gave this nursing home in any category came in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. Our long-term care grades are critical for individuals in need of personal care. After considering the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 95.794395 percent of its patients against pneumonia. The last statistic we assessed is the facility's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 1.81 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is not too far off the national average.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. Nursing grades are based largely on nurse staffing levels. This nursing home provided just 2.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This statistic is quite a bit below average. On top of its subpar nursing hours, this place also received suboptimal marks in many of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We found that more of this facility's patients sustained falls leading to serious injury.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the fourth area, this nursing home did not perform well in this area either. With a very poor grade of F in short-term care, this is really as as uninspiring as it gets. In our short-term care grade, we seek to forge a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. With a grade of this caliber for this area, we weren't surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in two of the key staffing areas we focus on. It offered far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the number of residents that returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 21.1 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below the national average.
