Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this ended up being a decent facility is it earned a very favorable inspection grade. In this area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area typically have very few severe deficiencies. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we awarded this facility an B-. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of skill of the nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also weighed some quality-based metrics. This facility performed well in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. For example, in terms of the percentage of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this nursing home performed better than the national average. This is generally a good indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented with better nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next highest category turned out to be its short-term care score, where it was awarded a B-. Our short-term care grades are probably more critical for folks needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical facility. The hope is that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. It was respectable in this metric with 45.2 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the last category, this nursing home was given a decent long-term care score of C. Our long-term care scores are more meaningful for individuals in need of more conventional services related to activities of daily living. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 98.96104 percent of its patients, which is higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.16 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes.
