Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. We were not able to track down deficiency counts for this nursing home. Without having access to deficiency related data for this facility, it is challenging to assess it in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also received a positive short-term care score. As a matter of fact, we gave it a B in that category, which is one of our more favorable scores. In forming our short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to devise a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, we found that this nursing home provided respectable levels of physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident. The final statistic we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that it was respectable in this area with 46.3 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we graded was long-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a grade of C in this area. Long-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's amount of nursing services. This means a broad range of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 99.5098 percent of its patients. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. With 1.94 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility was not too far off the national average.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to our final category, we gave this facility a grade of D in nursing. This is the facility's weakest category score. The nursing rating analyzes many components, however, the most important one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below the national average. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this place also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These statistics hurt this nursing home's nursing rating significantly.
