Facility Inspections
This facility earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent government inspection reports in recent years. We gave them an A+ in this category. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies an immediate risk 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 excelled in the area of long-term care. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that area, which is one of our best grades. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is usually a good sign for patient care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 97.7221 percent of its patients, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.52 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this facility's next highest score was short-term care. As it turns out, with a D in this area, it still performed relatively poorly. In determining our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The last area we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that it performed better in this area, with 49.3 percent of its patients returning home. This was just about this nursing home's only redeeming quality in this category.
Nurse Quality
The last category we graded is nursing, was this nursing home's weakest category. We awarded this nursing home a D in that area. This really is one of the few dings on a quality report card. When computing our nursing grades, we weigh both nursing hours and the training levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also looked at some quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This facility was above average in two of the areas we considered, with solid marks for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
