Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection scores are tied to many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat 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
Additionally, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our long-term care category. This is one of our higher scores. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 86.36364 percent of its patients. This is a few points lower than we expected but still a decent figure. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.2 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
Another unfortunate development is the F this nursing home received in the area of short-term care. Our short-term care ratings are believed to be more meaningful for folks in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. With a score of this caliber in this area, we were not stunned to learn that this nursing home was well below average in the two key staffing metrics we focus on. The nursing home supplied significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 45.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was below average.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to our final category, this nursing home really didn't fare very well. With a poor grade of F in nursing, this is its poorest category grade. There are a variety of subcategories within this grade. Most of the criteria reflect staffing levels. This place offered a meager 2.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is not a very impressive figure. In addition to receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this facility was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and found this nursing home was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this metric. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many pressure ulcers are preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, this statistic dragged down this nursing home's nursing rating significantly.
