Facility Inspections
We want to point out that this facility outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest grades in this category with a grade of A+. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received a strong long-term care score. Indeed, it received one of our best grades in that category with a grade of A-. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 97.659904 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. The last statistic we looked at is its hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 2.59 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the category of short-term care, this nursing home was given just a D in this area. Short-term care scores are important for people requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This includes a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The final measure we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 38.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. This statistic was damning for this facility's short-term care grade.
Nurse Quality
The final category we graded is nursing, which ended up being this nursing home's least impressive area. We gave it an F for this category, which is certainly concerning. Our nursing grade is mostly associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is slightly below the national average. On top of receiving below average scores for total nursing hours, this nursing home was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of residents suffering pressure ulcers and found that this place was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this statistic.
