Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Nurse Quality
We would like to point out that this nursing home's nursing grade exceeded its overall score. This nursing home earned a B in this category, which is one of our better grades. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with quantity of nursing care available. With 4.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the national average. Finally, this place also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. By way of illustration, in terms of the percentage of its patients sustaining falls leading to major injury, this place performed as well as just about any facility we looked at. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Serious falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best area was short-term care. We awarded it a B- in this category. This is basically a slightly below average score in this area. With our short-term care rating, we try to craft a fair measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. One of this nursing home's strengths is physical therapy hours. We found that it offers more hours with physical therapists to its residents than most facilities. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This place outperformed the majority of nursing homes in the nation with 51.5 percent of its residents returning home. This is a better rate than most facilities.
Facility Inspections
We also awarded this nursing home a grade of B- for our inspections rating. This is a very respectable nursing score. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we graded was long-term care. We gave this nursing home a C in that category. In determining our long-term care scores, we scrutinize the personal care received by the nursing home's residents. Once we assessed the volume of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 96.422485 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this nursing home had 3.72 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. While this figure is somewhat concerning, this number can be skewed for some nursing homes due to the preexisting medical conditions of residents.
