Long-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a strong overall score, this nursing home fared well in long-term care. We awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. In addition to offering well above average levels of nurse staffing, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This statistic is also much higher than the average nursing home. The last statistic we assessed is the facility's hospitalization rate. We found that this facility had 3.63 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. While this admittedly wasn't as impressive as most of its other scores in this category, this statistic may be skewed for some nursing homes due to the medical complexity of residents.
Facility Inspections
Turning to another one of this nursing home's strengths, it also earned a very impressive inspection score. In fact, inspections turned out to be one of its best categories. We gave this facility an A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively minor. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this was not one of this facility's strong suits. We awarded it a grade of D in this category. Clearly, this facility performed much better in the categories discussed above. Our nursing score is largely based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. Quantity of nursing care does not appear to be the source of this facility's poor nursing grade. This place provides 4.5 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is actually above average. In calculating our scores, we apply additional weight to hours performed by highly skilled nurses such as registered nurses. Lastly, we also factored in some quality-based measures in this category. This nursing home fared well in some of the quality measures we looked at. For example, in terms of the percentage of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this place performed better than the national average. This is generally an indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented with better nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this category, which is a rock bottom score. You shouldn't necessarily rule out a nursing home due to one weak category though. Our short-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 35.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
