Facility Inspections
While we were not very complementary of this nursing home's overall grade, it actually received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that category with an A-. Our inspection scores are based on pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid facilities with severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was awarded favorable short-term care marks this year. We gave them one of our more favorable scores in that area, with a grade of B. This turned out to be the facility's second highest score. In determining our short-term care scores, we look at a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This score is typically a fair measure of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Remarkably, this facility provides its residents at least 1.5 times as many physical therapist hours per week than the typical facility. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who returned home from the nursing home. We found that it performed better than most nursing homes in this area with 51.5 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. The nursing category includes a handful of factors, most of which are associated with nursing hours. This place provided just 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is not a very impressive figure. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these scores pulled down this nursing home's nursing rating quite a bit.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we graded was long-term care, where this facility received a rock bottom grade in this category as well. We gave it an F in this category, which is obviously very concerning. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in long-term care may not provide the kind of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities offer. After we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated only 82.25256 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 1.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
