Facility Inspections
Although we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a B for our inspections rating. This grade is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
The next best category we gave this facility in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In our short-term care score, we strive to forge a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The final metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This place fared much better in this metric with 62.7 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given its third most favorable category score in the category of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a C in this category, which is a decent score. Long-term care grades are based on the facility's volume of nursing care. This means a broad scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 97.05882 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. We found that this facility had 3.29 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Although this figure is quite a bit higher than the national average, this number may be skewed for some facilities based on the medical complexity of patients.
Nurse Quality
The final category we looked at was nursing. This nursing home received a poor grade of F in this area. Our nursing rating is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is slightly below average. On top of receiving below average marks for nursing hours, this nursing home was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and found this place was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this statistic. This is a bad sign when you consider that many pressure ulcers are preventable with better nursing care. This statistic dragged down this nursing home's nursing score substantially.
