Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility really excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned an A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also received a positive grade in our long-term care category. We awarded this facility a better than average grade of B+ in this category. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a deadly ailment for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home does not leave this to chance. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.56 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing rating. We gave this facility an impressive grade of D. There are many factors within this area. Many of the subcategories are tied to staffing levels. This place averaged a meager 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This figure is far below average. To go along with its low total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home had really bad marks in many of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing falls which led to serious injury. This nursing home was at more than 150 percent of the national average in this statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our fourth area, this facility did not perform very well. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in short-term care, this was its weakest category grade. Our short-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Given its abysmal grade in this area, we were not stunned to discover this place offered far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 37.9 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below average.
