Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned an A+. Few facilities performed better in this category. Inspection grades are based on pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies an immediate threat to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next highest area ended up being its short-term care grade, where it was awarded a B-. Our short-term care grades are believed to be more meaningful for residents in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally requires more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. One of this nursing home's strengths is physical therapy hours. We found that it offers more hours with physical therapists to its residents than most facilities. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This place fared better than most facilities in this area with 51.7 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
We gave this nursing home a grade of just D for our long-term care score. This is not a very good score. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is more than the average nursing home. To our surprise, this facility also wasn't as bad as we expected at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Although it had 2.17 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was not bad since it had more complex patients.
Nurse Quality
The next area we analyzed was nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this category, which is a rock bottom score. This is certainly a major concern. In calculating a facility's nursing score, we assess the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients as well as the skill levels of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below average. On top of ranking below average in nursing hours per resident, this nursing home also had poor marks in the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This place was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in both of these metrics. This is a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are preventable with better nursing care. These metrics helped pull down this nursing home's nursing rating quite a bit.
