Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place really excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Few facilities performed better in this category. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area usually have few severe deficiencies. This place received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat 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 strong long-term care score. Indeed, we awarded it a grade of B+ in this category, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are well cared for. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a life threatening ailment for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.06 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an D. The nursing score analyzes a handful of factors, but the primary consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provided a meager 2.9 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is an alarmingly low total. Lastly, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility was above average in two of the areas we focus on, with solid marks for avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we graded is short-term care. We awarded this facility a D for short-term care, rendering this the nursing home's least impressive area. In forming our short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This was not a strength either for this nursing home. We found that just 47.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is below average.
