Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home really fared well in our long-term care category. We gave it an impressive grade of A for that category. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in long-term care it is typically a good sign for patient care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the elderly population. The last datapoint we assessed is the facility's hospitalization rate. We found that this facility had 5.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this admittedly wasn't as strong as some of its other scores in this area, this statistic may be skewed for some nursing homes due to the preexisting medical conditions of residents.
Facility Inspections
This facility also excelled in inspections, where it earned an A-. Few nursing homes performed as well in this area. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we graded was short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B-. In computing our short-term care scores, we analyze a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This area is considered to be a reliable measure of a facility's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that it performed decently in this area, with 45.2 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
The last area we assessed was nursing, proved to be this facility's least impressive category. We gave this facility a grade of D in this area. This was one of just a few weak links of an otherwise impressive report card. We analyzed the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the number of hours those nurses worked with residents, in calculating our grade in this category. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is slightly below average. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This place had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. These statistics hurt this facility's nursing rating significantly.
