Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area typically have very few severe deficiencies. Unfortunately, it does not look like we have information on deficiency's for this nursing home. We would like to have more data for this nursing home. Without having access to complete deficiency related data, it was challenging to grade this facility in the area of inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more impressive category grades was in the category of long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B+. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are kept in good health. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 98.314606 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a great way to minimize negative health outcomes for the nursing home population. The last statistic we looked at is the facility's hospitalization rate. We found that this place had 2.69 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. When calculating our nursing scores, we assess both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. This particular nursing home provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing ratings also include quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed above average in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our fourth area, we gave this facility a D in short-term care. This was the facility's least impressive category rating. Unfortunately, this grade pulled down the nursing home's overall profile to some degree. In the category of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 43.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics sunk this nursing home's short-term care score.
