Facility Inspections
Although this facility's overall grade was not a highlight, it did receive a very good grade in the category of inspections. In fact, we gave it a grade of B+ for that category, which is one of our better scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively 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. Even with this deficiency, this nursing home still received a relatively favorable inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a respectable grade in the area of long-term care, where it received a B-. In determining our long-term care ratings, we scrutinize the assistance with daily living offered to a nursing home's residents. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility vaccinated 99.67638 percent of its patients, which is a very solid total. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.5 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. Our nursing rating analyzes the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages just 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Although this nursing home didn't really impress in terms of the quantity of nursing care provided, it performed admirably in some of our quality measures. In fact, it was above average in two of the metrics we assess, with positive reviews for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we graded was short-term care. This facility was given an abysmal grade of F in this category. In calculating these short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 24.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
