Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this facility overall, we awarded it an A- for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
The second most favorable category we gave this facility in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. Short-term care grades are often employed to assess a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, we found that this nursing home provided respectable levels of physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident. The final item we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. It was respectable in this area with 49.1 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. The nursing grade is based on quite a few subcategories, but the paramount consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. This nursing home performed admirably in this datapoint. Avoiding serious falls is often a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses to assist its residents.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we scored is long-term care, which is this nursing home's least impressive area. We gave this facility a grade of D in this area. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this facility gave the vaccine to only 88.57143 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 1.65 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
