Facility Inspections
This nursing home's best category grade came in the area of government inspections. In this area, we gave this nursing home a B+. It outperformed most facilities in this category. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to be an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category grades was in the area of short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B. It actually outperformed most facilities in this area. In forming these short-term care grades, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of care from registered nurses to its residents. The final item we assessed in this category is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. This place fared better than most nursing homes in this area with 49.2 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
An additional reason we rated this facility so highly is that it earned an A+ nursing grade. The nursing grade considers a variety of factors. The most heavily weighted variable is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. This facility provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these datapoints as good measures of the quality of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was long-term care. We gave it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this area. For prospective patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 93.95605 percent of its residents. The last datapoint we assessed was its hospitalization rate. While it had 2.15 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was not too bad.
