Facility Inspections
This place's highest category grade came in the category of inspections. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B-. Inspection grades are tied to many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This place was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facilities second best category was long-term care. We gave it a B- in this area. This is essentially a middle of the pack score in this category. Long-term care grades are generally used to measure a nursing home's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a skilled nursing facility. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 95.03105 percent of its patients against pneumonia. The last datapoint we assessed is the facility's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this facility had 1.76 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is not too bad.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. There are several factors included in this category. Most of the datapoints relate to nurse staffing. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also factored a few quality-based metrics into our nursing grades. This nursing home was relatively weak in two of the areas we look at, with subpar scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are often good measures of the quality of nursing care offered.
Short-term Care Quality
Our final category is short-term care, in which we gave this facility a grade of B- in that area. In the area of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 41.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well below the national average.
