Facility Inspections

Grade: B

While we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively solid inspections in recent years. We gave it a B in this category, which was much better than its overall grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively insignificant. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. The nursing rating is based on many subcategories, most of which are associated with nursing hours. This facility averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is not an impressive total. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. It performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we analyzed was long-term care, where this facility was awarded a C in this area. Long-term care grades assess a facility's assistance with daily living instead of the skilled nursing or medical services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Switching gears to our fourth category, we awarded this facility a D for the area of short-term care. This is the nursing home's worst category score. With our short-term care category, we strive to craft a fair measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 3.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Applewood Post Acute Quality Metrics

Minimizes Pressure Ulcers

Grade: B-minus

In Applewood Post Acute, 8.47% of Patients had Pressure Ulcers

This tells you the percent of residents who sustained a pressure ulcer. Pressure ulcers are damage to the skin due to remaining in the same position for an excessive period of time.

Minimizes Serious Falls

Grade: A

In Applewood Post Acute, 0.69% of Patients had Serious Falls

This tells you the percentage of patients that have had a major fall. Falls leading to severe injuries are routinely the result of lower levels of patient supervision. Closer supervision reduces the number of major falls sustained by residents in a nursing home.

Minimizes Urinary Tract Infections

Grade: B-plus

In Applewood Post Acute, 0.98% of Patients had UTIs

This is the percent of patients that have had a urinary tract infection. UTI's are considered by many experts to be a barometer of the quality of nursing care at a nursing home. UTI's are routinely linked to lower quality nursing care. Nevertheless, this datapoint could also be skewed for some facilities due to inconsistent reporting standards for these infections.

Appropriately Uses Anti-Psychotic Medication

Grade: B-plus

In Applewood Post Acute, 11.2% of Patients use Anti-Psychotic Medication

This metric is a measure of the percentage of long-term patients receiving antipsychotic drugs. While antipsychotic drugs play an important role in caring for many residents, it is important to confirm these medications are being used only where medically required. In limited cases, high levels of antipsychotic drug use may mean that a facility is using these medications to control patient behavior.

Appropriately Uses Anti-Anxiety Medication

Grade: C

In Applewood Post Acute, 27.46% of Patients use Anti-Anxiety Medication

This datapoint indicates the percent of long-term patients receiving antianxiety medications.

Managing Depression Among Residents

Grade: A-minus

In Applewood Post Acute, 0.74% of Patients

This tells you the percentage of patients who are exhibiting depressive symptoms. High levels of depression may reveal lower quality care.

Appropriate Vaccine Usage

Grade: A-minus

In Applewood Post Acute, 99.33% of Patients

This tells you the percent of patients that were administered the pneumonia and flu vaccines. Higher vaccination rates should be standard at this point.

Residents Maintain Autonomy

Grade: A

In Applewood Post Acute, 7.09% of Patients

This is the percent of residents who needed additional assistance with activities of daily living over time. Higher levels of dependence on staff for assistance with ADL's could be a sign of the erosion of a patient's medical condition.

Ability to Keep Residents Mobile

Grade: D

In Applewood Post Acute, 7.92% of Residents

This metric is a measure of the percentage of long-term care residents who maintained mobility. Some argue that the ability to move around is critical to residents' health.

Hospitalizations

Grade: C

In Applewood Post Acute, 0.03 Hospitalizations per 1,000 resident days

Measures the number of times residents are hospitalized per thousand days of patient care.

Short-term Care: Rehospitalizations

Grade: A

In Applewood Post Acute, 7.92% of Residents Rehospitalized

This metric tracks the number of rehospitalizations per 1,000 days of short-term patient care. Staying out of the hospital during rehabilitation is important to restoring the physical abilities of patients.

Short-term Care: ER Visits

Grade: F

In Applewood Post Acute, 21.84% of Patients

This datapoint is a measure of the number of emergency room visits per thousand days of short-term patient care. Staying out of the emergency room is one way to measure the well-being of patients during rehabilitation.

Short-term Care: Facilitates Functional Improvement

Grade: A-plus

In Applewood Post Acute, 93.5% of Resident

This metric measures the percentage of short-term patients that experienced functional improvements, such as with activities of daily living. Some argue that this is a reliable measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation performance.
