Facility Inspections
The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its impeccable inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our higher grades in that category, with a grade of A. This is a notably better score than the place's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. Our inspection scores are based on several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's short-term care grade ended up being one of its higher grades. The nursing home was given a B- in this area. With our short-term care score, we attempt to craft a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it was respectable in this area with 45.9 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The third most favorable area we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a C. Our long-term care scores are crucial for people seeking personal care. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 92.80303 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is somewhat lower than we expected but still a reasonably acceptable figure. On a more positive note, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
Our final area is nursing, where we gave this nursing home a C in that area. The nursing grade analyzes a handful of components, but the most important consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided just 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, we also factored some quality-based metrics into our nursing ratings. This nursing home was subpar in two of the major metrics we look at, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care offered.
