Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. This is an excellent sign for this nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next highest category turned out to be its long-term care grade, where it was given a B-. Our long-term care scores are more important for individuals needing more conventional services related to personal care. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 94.392525 percent of its patients. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this nursing home had 3.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. While this figure is quite a bit higher than the national average, this number can be skewed for some facilities due to the medical complexity of residents.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second least favorable category was short-term care, where it received just a D in that area. This is a relatively poor score. In the area of short-term care, we seek to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We were surprised to find that it performed better in this area, with 50.9 percent of its residents returning home. This was just about this nursing home's sole highlight in this category.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's least impressive category was nursing, which is the last area we looked at. For this category, we awarded this nursing home a D. We weighed the licensure of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses spent with patients, in computing our grade in this area. This facility averaged just 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also looked at a few quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home was above average in two of the metrics we considered, with good scores for avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
