Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A+. Few facilities performed better in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. 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 awarded this facility a score of A in that area. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.5671 percent of its patients. This is a proven method to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. The last datapoint we looked at is the nursing home's hospitalization rate. We found that this nursing home had 3.22 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 statistic may be skewed for some nursing homes based on some of the medical complexity of patients.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed is short-term care. Unfortunately, in that area, we awarded this nursing home an F. This is not nearly as high as some of its other category grades. Frankly, this is an extremely poor grade. In the category of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. In this nursing home's case, it looks like it provides fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average facility. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 44.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
Turning to our last category, this facility didn't perform very well. With a rock bottom grade of F in nursing, this is this facility's weakest category. The nursing grade consists of quite a few factors, however, the paramount consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is below the national average. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this nursing home also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. These metrics hurt this facility's nursing rating significantly.
