Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its impeccable health inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher grades in that area, with an A+. This is a much better grade than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor dings are not necessarily something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a strong score in our long-term care category. We gave this facility a better than average grade of B in this area. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 99.71347 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. Our nursing score is mostly based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at a few nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these subcategories. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we scored is short-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of D for our short-term care category, making this its weakest category. Short-term care ratings are critical for residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 48.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
