Facility Inspections
Although we didn't give this place a good overall grade, we did give it a strong grade in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid facilities that had too many severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
Surprisingly, this facility actually received an impressive nursing grade this year as well. We gave it a grade of B in this category. Our nursing grade is largely based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 2.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some quality-based measures in this category. This nursing home fared well in some of the quality measures we assessed. By way of illustration, in terms of the percentage of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this facility performed better than the national average. This is generally an indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided with better nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The next best category we awarded this facility in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. Short-term care ratings are critical for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 41.2 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was long-term care, in which this facility was given a poor score in this area also. We gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is obviously somewhat alarming. For residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility also was not as bad as we expected at keeping its residents out of the hospital. While it had 1.97 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric wasn't bad since it had some more complicated patients.
