Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively minor. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. 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 scores was in the area of short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. It actually fared better than most facilities in this area. In calculating these short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that it performed better than most nursing homes in the nation in this area with 51.7 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. We weighed the levels of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses were with patients, in computing our grade in this category. This facility provided just 3.2 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 scores. This nursing home was subpar in a few of the major areas we look at, with below average scores for minimizing its patients' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are often good indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we graded is long-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. This is a perfectly acceptable grade in this category. Our long-term care grade is used to score a facility's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services provided by a skilled nursing facility. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Unfortunately, this nursing home vaccinated only 82.8859 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Unfortunately, this place's hospitalization rate was also below average. We found that this nursing home had 2.16 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. While this figure is somewhat concerning, this number can be skewed for some nursing homes due to the medical complexity of residents
