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. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate information about this nursing home's deficiencies. We wish we had more information about this nursing home. Without complete information regarding deficiencies, it is difficult to assess it in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's higher category grades was in the category of short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to grade a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to provide quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of physical therapy per week to its residents. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it outperformed the majority of facilities in the nation in this area with 52.3 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed is long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B-. In a long-term care environment, the primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility vaccinated 99.728264 percent of its residents, which is an above average figure. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Although it had 2.24 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was better than most nursing homes since it had some more complex patients.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to our final area, we awarded this nursing home a D in nursing. This was the nursing home's weakest category score. Of course, this score hurt the facility's overall profile to a certain degree. Our nursing rating includes quite a few components, however, the most important one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below the national average. In addition to receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this place was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and found this facility was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this statistic. This is a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. This statistic really pulled down this facility's nursing grade significantly.
