Facility Inspections
While we gave this facility a bad overall grade, we actually gave it a fairly respectable score in the area of inspections, where we gave it a B-. This was better than its other category grades. We would argue that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B-. The nursing grade assesses several components, but the main one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident daily. At least one fourth of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly trained nurses. This is a high ratio of skilled nursing care. We weight these hours heavily in computing our nursing grades. Finally, our nursing grades also weigh quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed better than average in this area. This is often a good measure of how carefully a place's nursing staff is tending to its residents. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and superior safety protocols are used.
Short-term Care Quality
This facilities next most favorable category is short-term care. We gave it a B- in this category. This is essentially a middle of the road score in this area. In determining our short-term care scores, we assess the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This score is considered to be a fair measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the number of patients who returned home from the facility. We found that just 32 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we graded is long-term care, ended up being this facility's weakest area. We gave this nursing home a D in this category. For prospective patients in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. One of the data points we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 99.632355 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home also was not as bad as we expected at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Although it had 1.97 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was not bad since it had more complex patients.
