Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

In addition to its strong overall grade, we gave this facility an impressive grade of A for our long-term care grade. For patients in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 93.50649 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be slightly lower than we anticipated but still a respectable percentage. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

Among this facility's other strengths is its elite nursing grade. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of A-. Nursing scores are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's third most favorable area was short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the pack score in this area. Short-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. It doesn't appear that this nursing home provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The last item we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

In the last category we looked at, we found that this facility earned a solid inspection report this year as well. As a result, it earned a decent grade in inspections with a grade of B-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Casa Promesa Quality Metrics

Minimizes Pressure Ulcers

Grade: B

In Casa Promesa, 9.62% of Patients had Pressure Ulcers

This is the percentage of patients who suffered from a pressure ulcer. Pressure ulcers, also known as bed sores, are routinely caused by residents not being moved frequently enough. Better nursing protocols can reduce the percentage of residents in a nursing home who sustain pressure ulcers.

Minimizes Serious Falls

Grade: B

In Casa Promesa, 3.04% of Patients had Serious Falls

This indicates the percent of residents that sustained a major fall. Falls leading to major injury are often the result of lower levels of patient supervision. Additional nurse staffing minimizes the number of major falls sustained by residents in a nursing home.

Minimizes Urinary Tract Infections

Grade: B-plus

In Casa Promesa, 2.08% of Patients had UTIs

This datapoint tells you the percent of long-term residents which had a UTI. While more infections may reflect poorly on a facility's nursing care, it is difficult to compare between facilities due to nursing homes having reporting standards.

Appropriately Uses Anti-Psychotic Medication

Grade: D

In Casa Promesa, 11.61% of Patients use Anti-Psychotic Medication

This indicates the percentage of residents given antipsychotic drugs. Antipsychotic drugs are administered to residents for many medical conditions, including Alzheimer's or other dementias. Tragically, in limited situations, increased usage of these drugs may indicate that a facility is using these medications to subdue residents.

Grade: B-plus

In Casa Promesa, 13.28% of Patients use Anti-Anxiety Medication

This statistic tells you the percentage of long-term patients taking antianxiety drugs.

Residents Maintain Autonomy

Grade: A

In Casa Promesa, 14.66% Percentage of Patients

This is the percent of patients that required increased assistance with activities of daily living over time. Higher levels of dependence on staff for assistance with ADL's may be a sign of decline of a resident's well-being.

This datapoint is a measure of the percent of long-term stay residents who were able to retain mobility.

In Casa Promesa, 18.82 Percentage of Residents Rehospitalized

This is the number of times residents are rehospitalized per 1,000 days of short-term patient care. There is typically a correlation between keeping patients out of the hospital and a nursing home's quality of short-term rehabilitation.
