Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a grade of A- for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. In spite of this deficiency, this was still a relatively favorable report.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's short-term care rating ended up being one of its more favorable scores. The facility was awarded a grade of C in this area. In determining these short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to formulate a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who returned home from this nursing home. We found that 44.6 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually below the national average.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. The nursing grade is based on a variety of subcategories. The most important factor is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This nursing home averages just 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. In addition to ranking poorly in terms of nursing hours provided, this facility also fell short in certain metrics that are associated with quality of care. This facility's nursing grade was pulled down by poor performance in the area of minimizing pressure ulcers. We found that 15.6 percent of this nursing home's residents sustained pressure ulcers. This is at least double the average nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at is long-term care, where this nursing home was given a rock bottom score in this area also. Sadly, it received an F in this area, which is obviously a major concern. For patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the vaccine to 96.40288 percent of its residents, which is an above average percentage. Unfortunately, this place's hospitalization rate was not nearly as favorable. Here we found that this nursing home had 2.6 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an alarming rate.
