Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this place also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A+. Few facilities performed better in this category. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category tend to have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also performed well in the area of long-term care, with top notch score of A- in this category. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This is a proven method to minimize negative health outcomes for the aged 65 and up population. The last datapoint we assessed is the facility's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this facility had 3.4 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. While this wasn't as impressive as some of its other scores in this area, this figure may be skewed for some facilities due to some of the medical complexity of residents.
Short-term Care Quality
The next most favorable category we awarded this facility in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a C. In the area of short-term care, we try to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides a greater volume of physical therapist hours to its residents than the average nursing home. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 33.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually below the national average.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's worst area was nursing, which is the final category we analyzed. In this category, we awarded this facility a grade of just D. The nursing rating is based on several factors. The most important one is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below 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 grades. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This place had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home.
