Historical

This nursing home received a quality overall score as described above, but we especially want to emphasize its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave it an A in this area. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

In addition, this nursing home also was awarded favorable long-term care scores in our assessment. Indeed, we gave it one of our better scores in that category, with a grade of B+. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 88.17204 percent of its residents. This is a few points below what we anticipated. Lastly, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this facility had 2.37 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.

The third category we graded is short-term care. This facility received an above average short-term care score, with a B+ in this area. In determining our short-term care ratings, we analyze a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This rating is considered to be a meaningful measure of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it outperformed the majority of nursing homes in the country in this area with 54.6 percent of its residents returning home. This is a higher rate than most facilities.

Historical

The last category we graded is nursing. We gave it a grade of C in that area. This is not a bad grade in this category. Our nursing score includes many factors. The most important variable is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home averages just 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, we also baked a few quality measures into our nursing grades. This facility was subpar in two of the major metrics we look at, with below average scores for minimizing its patients' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are generally good indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
