Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that area, which is one of our highest scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite insignificant. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We also want to point out that this facility received a decent grade in our nursing category. We awarded it a grade of C in the area. Nursing ratings are tied to quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home averages 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as minimizing major falls. This nursing home performed admirably in this area. Avoiding serious falls is usually a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Some falls can be prevented if a facility offers enough nurses aids to assist its residents.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's next highest category was short-term care. As it turns out, with a grade of D in this category, it still fared somewhat badly. Short-term care ratings are crucial for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more skilled nursing. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the number of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 41.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we rated is long-term care. It received an abysmal F in this category, which is a very poor grade. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 95.47038 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.97 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
