Short-term Care Quality
This facility really excelled in our short-term care rating, with an A in this area. Our short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the overwhelming majority of facilities with 70 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received an B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Our nursing grade is mostly based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which was above the national average. Lastly, this nursing home was also above average in each of the major quality measures we assessed in this category. For example, it performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a nursing home provides.
Facility Inspections
This facility also received a strong inspection score. Inspection grades are based on the facility's recent inspections. We awarded this facility an above average grade of B in this area. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we rated is long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in our long-term care category, leaving this as its least impressive category. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed. This facility's vaccination statistics weren't as favorable as its number of nursing hours per resident. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 90.0277 percent of its residents. We'd love to see some improvement in this area in the future. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 1.33 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
