Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a grade of A- for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's long-term care score turns out to be one of its best scores. The facility received a B- in this area. In computing our long-term care scores, we quantify the facility's personal care services. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 94.83544 percent of its patients, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. With 1.72 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home was not too far off the national average.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. There are several factors within this grade. Many of these datapoints relate to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 2.8 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a low total compared to most facilities. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of these quality measures. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this subcategory. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a system of moving residents more often.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we graded is short-term care, where this facility was given a bottom of the barrel score here as well. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is definitely a major disappointment. Short-term care grades are generally used to score a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to offer quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide better levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. With its grade in this area, we were not stunned to discover that this facility is well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we looked at. Honestly, this was about what we expected to find. Finally, we considered the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 8.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
