Facility Inspections
The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection grade. Its inspection score was far superior to its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave it a grade of A. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a favorable score in short-term care. This nursing home earned a grade of B in this area, which is one of our better grades. Our short-term care scores are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who returned home from this nursing home. It performed better than most facilities in the nation in this area with 55.6 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next best category ended up being its long-term care score, where it received a grade of B-. In crafting these long-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Unfortunately, this nursing home's hospitalization rate was not quite as favorable. Here we found that this facility had 2.73 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
The last category we looked at is nursing, is this nursing home's least impressive category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in this category. The nursing rating weighs many factors, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This facility averaged only 3.2 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. On top of receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this nursing home was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and found this place was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this statistic. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that so many pressure ulcers are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, this statistic really dragged down this nursing home's nursing grade substantially.
