Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection ratings are based on many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's next highest area is short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The important question is whether this also impacted quality of care. The last item we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that it performed much better in this area with 56 percent of its residents returning home. For most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a decent grade in the category of long-term care, where it received a B-. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 91.76471 percent of its patients. This is a bit lower than we expected but still a decent figure. Lastly, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this facility had 2.51 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this figure is somewhat concerning, this number can be skewed for some nursing homes due to the preexisting medical conditions of residents.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to our next category, this nursing home really didn't fare well. Due to an abysmal grade of F in nursing, this is this nursing home's weakest category grade. In computing a facility's nursing score, we consider the number of hours nurses are caring for patients as well as the level of licensure of the nurses. With a meager 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were far below the national average. On top of receiving below average scores for total nursing hours, this nursing home was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and found this facility was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this statistic. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. This statistic dragged down this nursing home's nursing rating significantly.
