Facility Inspections
The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection score. Its inspection score was far better than its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite minor. This place received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's better category grades was in the area of short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B. It actually outpaced most nursing homes in this area. Short-term care grades are typically used to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To provide highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. 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. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This proved to be a real strength for this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of facilities in the nation in this area with 61.3 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most facilities.
Nurse Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. When calculating a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the number of hours nurses are with patients and the levels of training of the nurses. This facility provided 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also considered some quality-based measures. This place performed well in a few of the quality measures we assessed. In terms of the percentage of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this place beat the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at is long-term care, which proved to be this facility's weakest category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this area. Naturally, this grade pulled down the nursing home's overall grade to some degree. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means the nursing home didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to resident care. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to a relatively low 72.14286 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.45 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
