Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this nursing home favorably overall, we did give it an excellent score in the area of inspections, where it earned an A+. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid facilities with a bunch of severe deficiencies flagged. Surprisingly, this nursing home received a category L deficiency, which is unexpected given its inspection rating. This is the worst possible category of deficiencies. This category of deficiency means inspectors discovered a widespread deficiency placing resident safety or health in immediate danger. Any serious deficiency is a major concern. While other aspects of this nursing home's inspection report were favorable, we have some reservations.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In fact, nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility an C. The nursing grade is based on a number of datapoints. The most important one is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This facility provided just 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.
Long-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home just a D for our long-term care grade. This is not one of our better scores. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home vaccinated 98.66071 percent of its residents, which is an above average percentage. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. While it had 1.93 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was not bad due to it having some more complex patients.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we graded was short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this category, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. In our short-term care grade, we try to forge a sound measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at the nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Based on its score in this category, we were not stunned to discover that this facility was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the figures we assessed. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 18 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
