Long-term Care Quality
This place's long-term care rating is notably more impressive than its overall grade. Due to a strong performance in this category, it received one of our higher scores in that area with a B. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.26471 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this facility had 2.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In that category, we gave this facility an B. Our nursing grade is based on many factors. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This nursing home averages 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also factored a few quality-based metrics into our nursing grades. This facility was relatively weak in two of the major areas we focus on, 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 provided.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home's third best category grade came in the area of government inspections. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B. It actually outperformed most facilities in this category. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed was short-term care, is this nursing home's least impressive area. We gave this facility a grade of D in this category. With our short-term care grade, we seek to craft a fair 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 speech therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was well below average in one of the most important staffing areas we assessed. The facility provided substantially less physical therapy per resident than most other facilities. The final measure we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area, with just 23.9 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
