Facility Inspections
Although we were not high on this place's overall performance, it actually received an impressive inspection report this year with few dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that area with a B. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid nursing homes that have too many deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report, which is still very impressive. Overall, this was a generally positive inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second highest area turned out to be short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B-. In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. This nursing home boosted its score in this category by offering more physical therapy hours to its residents than the average facility. The final metric we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. It was respectable in this area with 47.9 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The third category we looked at was long-term care, where this nursing home was given a grade of C in this area. Long-term care ratings are based on a facility's amount of nursing care. This means a vast scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinates 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. With 1.94 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility is not too far off the national average.
Nurse Quality
The final area we scored was nursing, which proved to be this nursing home's least impressive category. We gave this facility a D in this area. Our nursing grade considers a variety of subcategories. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provides 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility.
