Facility Inspections
The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection score. Its inspection score was far better than its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also received high marks in the area of long-term care, with first-rate score of A- in this category. When facilities receive this kind of grade in this category it is typically a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a proven method to avoid unnecessary deaths for the elderly population. This facility also keeps its patients out of the hospital. Although it had 1.76 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was better than the majority of nursing homes due to it having some more complicated patients.
Short-term Care Quality
The third category we looked at was short-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a grade of C in this category. In determining our short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to create a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. This proved to be a stronger area than its staffing data. It fared well in this area with 59.7 percent of its residents returning home. This was a big boost to its grade in this category.
Nurse Quality
The next category we analyzed was nursing, which was this nursing home's weakest category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in this area. Of course, this score hurt the nursing home's overall profile to some degree. Nursing scores are mostly associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This place was above average in two of the major areas we focus on, with solid marks for avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. These metrics are often good indicators of the quality of nursing care offered.
