Facility Inspections
The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection score. In fact, its inspection grade was far superior to its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave this facility an A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+ in our long-term care category. This is one of our better grades. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are well cared for. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 98.49727 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.51 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
This facility received a strong nursing score this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of F. There are many datapoints within this category. Most of the datapoints relate to staffing levels. This facility averaged only 2.8 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. In addition to receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this nursing home was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of patients suffering pressure ulcers and found this place was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our last area, this facility did not fare very well. With an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this was this facility's worst area. Our short-term care scores are vital for residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Given its poor grade, we were not shocked to find that this nursing home provided substantially fewer registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 12 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
