Facility Inspections
To go along with its decent overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. This grade is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this category tend to have very few severe deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the area of long-term care, we gave this facility a grade of A- in that area. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 98.6755 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this facility had 2.67 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's third highest area ended up being short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a C. With our short-term care score, we attempt to create a valuable gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that it was above average in this metric with 50.9 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
This facility's least impressive category is nursing, which is the final area we analyzed. We gave it an F for this category. In spite of a few respectable scores in other areas, this grade is still alarming so we felt obligated to make a note of it. Our nursing rating considers several data points. The most heavily weighted factor is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.5 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 did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This facility had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these metrics pulled down this facility's nursing grade significantly.
