Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this facility overall, we awarded it an A+ for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively insignificant. 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. Even with this deficiency, this place still had a relatively positive inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
The next best category we awarded this facility in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a C. Our short-term care ratings are probably most critical for those needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of physical therapy per week to its residents. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that were able to return home from this facility. We found that it performed respectably in this area with 45.8 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's second least favorable category is long-term care, where it earned just a D in that area. This is a relatively poor score. For patients looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 96.42857 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is better than the average nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this nursing home fared much worse with 3.58 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, this statistic is more than double the national average.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the final category, we awarded this facility a grade of D for the area of nursing. This was the nursing home's weakest category score. The nursing grade assesses a handful of subcategories, however, the paramount one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is slightly below average. Unfortunately, this facility also had terrible scores in some of the quality-based measures to pair with its weak nursing hour totals. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing pressure ulcers. This facility was at more than twice the national average in this metric. This is quite alarming when you consider that many pressure ulcers are preventable with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the nursing home's fate of earning a very poor nursing score.
