Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually received a very good score in the area of inspections. We awarded it a B for that area, which is one of our better grades. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a middle of the road grade in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a C. Short-term care grades are typically employed to judge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who eventually returned home from this facility and found that this nursing home performed better here. In fact, this nursing home fared better than most facilities in the country in this area with 51.8 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next best category turned out to be its long-term care score, where it was given a C. In calculating our long-term care scores, we size up the personal care received by a nursing home's residents. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 94.41964 percent of its residents. The last statistic we looked at was the nursing home's hospitalization rate. While it had 2.28 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was not too far off the national average.
Nurse Quality
This facility's worst category was nursing, which is the final category we assessed. In this area, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. Our nursing score includes numerous subcategories. The most important one is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. Quantity of nursing care does not appear to be the problem here. Based on the data, it looks like this place provides an above average 4 hours per patient daily. This is more nursing care than most facilities offer. Despite performing well in terms of nursing hours, this place didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home was above the national average in both metrics. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These data points pulled down this facility's nursing grade quite a bit.
