Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home really outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with an A. Arguably the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also performed favorably in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of A-. Few facilities fared more favorably in this category. For patients in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. Once we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 70.481926 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This place also keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.59 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. We weighed the levels of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the number of hours the nurses spent with patients, in computing our rating in this area. This facility provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also considered some quality-based assessments. This nursing home performed well in some of the quality measures we looked at. In terms of the number of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this place performed better than the national average.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we scored is short-term care. We gave it an F for this category, which is an abysmal score. This is clearly a major disappointment. Short-term care scores are crucial for people needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last item we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 41.5 percent of its patients returning home.
