Facility Inspections
The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection score. Its inspection score was far better than its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a favorable score in our long-term care category. We gave this facility a better than average grade of B+ in that category. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are well cared for. Once we assessed the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly ailment for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. This place was also able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.21 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a substantially better hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. The nursing grade considers a host of factors. The most important variable is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home provides 2.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, while this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was short-term care, which was this nursing home's weakest category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in this area. Of course, this score hurt the nursing home's overall profile to some degree. Short-term care grades are often employed to gauge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. It looks like this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the data we looked at. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 41.8 percent of its patients returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.
