Facility Inspections
The main reason this facility received a decent overall score is its impeccable government inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an A+. This is a much better score than the facility's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Inspection grades are tied to many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a positive grade in long-term care. This nursing home earned a B in this category, which turns out to be one of our more favorable scores. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 97.67442 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this nursing home had 2.23 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility received an F for its short-term care grade. Our short-term care scores are meaningful for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. With a score this poor for this category, we weren't stunned to learn that this place was below average in many staffing figures we focus on. In fact, it provided far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 44.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
This facility's worst area is nursing, which is the last area we looked at. It received an abysmal F in this category. Despite some decent grades in other areas, this score is still concerning so we felt obligated to make sure you are aware. Nursing ratings are tied to quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home provides 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is slightly below the national average. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this place also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility.
