Facility Inspections
While we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively solid inspections in recent years. We gave it a respectable grade of B+ in this category, which is much better than its overall grade. Inspection grades are tied to several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's short-term care grade ended up being one of its best scores. The facility was given a grade of C in this category. Our short-term care grade is often used to judge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. This was more of a strength than its staffing data. We found that it performed well in this metric with 59 percent of its patients returning home. This was a boost to its score in this category.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. The nursing grade considers a number of subcategories. The most heavily weighted one is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This place averaged only 2.8 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is an alarmingly low total. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we scored is long-term care, where this facility was given a very poor grade here also. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this area, which is obviously very concerning. When facilities receive this type of grade in this category it is a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the nursing home is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated only 54.725605 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 1.52 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
