Facility Inspections
This nursing home earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A- in this category. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area usually have few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we awarded this facility a grade of B in our long-term care category. This happens to be one of our better grades. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are kept in good health. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 91.37255 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is a few points less than we were hoping for but still a decent percentage. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.46 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at is short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a decent grade of C. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. It outperformed most nursing homes in this metric with 57.8 percent of its residents returning home. This really bolstered its score in this category.
Nurse Quality
The final area we looked at was nursing, which was this facility's worst area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that area. Our nursing grade analyzes many components, but the primary one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided just 3.2 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This statistic is quite a bit below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home was above average in two of the data points we considered, with good marks for avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
