Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A+ for that area, which is one of our best scores. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid nursing homes that had a long list of severe deficiencies. While this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility's next most respectable score was short-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this area, it still fared relatively poorly. In crafting these short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Given its poor grade, we were not shocked to find that this nursing home provided substantially fewer registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 39.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. This statistic was damning for this facility's short-term care grade.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the area of long-term care, this facility was given a grade of just D in that category. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 98.4252 percent of its residents. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. With 1.99 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility did not fare quite as well.
Nurse Quality
The next category we graded is nursing. It received an abysmal F for this category, which is an abysmal grade. When calculating our nursing ratings, we analyze both staffing levels and the training levels of the nurses. This facility provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is below the national average. On top of rating below average in nursing hours per resident, this place also had poor scores in the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in both of these statistics. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are preventable with better nursing care. These statistics pulled down this nursing home's nursing rating significantly.
