Facility Inspections
To pair with its decent overall grade, we gave this facility an A- for our inspections rating. This score is far better than the facility's overall rating. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area generally have very few severe deficiencies. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this facility a B+ in our long-term care category. This is one of our higher grades. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.0099 percent of its residents, which is better than the average nursing home. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 1.49 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of D. The nursing grade includes a handful of components, but the primary one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below average. In addition to its subpar nursing hours, this facility earned suboptimal marks in many of the quality-based measures we considered in calculating our nursing grades. We found that a higher percentage of this facility's patients experienced falls leading to major injury. We believe that many falls could likely be prevented with better nursing care. This statistic contributed to this place receiving a terrible nursing rating.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we rated was short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this area, which is a very poor grade. This is obviously a significant concern. In our short-term care score, we strive to create a fair measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at the facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Considering its score in this area, we weren't stunned to discover that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the figures we assessed. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 23.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
