Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat 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 category of long-term care, we gave this facility a grade of A- in that category. Facilities that receive this type of score in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are well cared for. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 98.55072 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this nursing home had 3.29 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 figure may be skewed for some nursing homes based on some of the medical complexity of residents.
Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home only earned a D for its short-term care rating, which is not a score to write home about. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 42.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
Nurse Quality
This facility's weakest category is nursing, which is the last category we analyzed. In this area, we gave this facility a grade of just D. There are many data points included in this area. Many of the data points are tied to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. Quantity of nursing care does not appear to be the source of this facility's poor nursing grade. This place provides 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is actually better than we expected. In computing our ratings, we apply more weight to hours performed by more highly trained nurses such as registered or licensed nurses. Despite performing well in terms of nursing hours, this nursing home didn't fare as well in the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home was above the national average in both metrics. 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 nursing home's nursing rating significantly.
