Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this facility highly overall, we want to point out its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively insignificant. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
The next best category we gave this facility in any area came in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a C. For prospective residents seeking a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 93.333336 percent of its patients. This is somewhat less than we expected but still a respectable figure. Unfortunately, this nursing home's hospitalization rate was worse than we hoped. We found that this facility had 2.15 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. While this figure is quite a bit higher than the national average, this number can be skewed for some facilities based on the preexisting medical conditions of patients
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second least favorable category is short-term care, where it received a grade of just D in that area. This is a relatively poor score. In computing these short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 42.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to our fourth area, we awarded this facility a D for nursing. This was the nursing home's least impressive category rating. When determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the number of hours nurses are seeing patients and the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provides 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is slightly below the national average. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This place had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These scores pulled down this nursing home's nursing rating quite a bit.
