Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that area, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Surprisingly, this place received a category L deficiency, which is unexpected based on its inspection score. This is the worst possible category of deficiencies. This category of deficiency indicates inspectors discovered a widespread deficiency putting patient health or safety in immediate jeopardy. Any serious deficiency is a major concern. While other aspects of this nursing home's inspection report were favorable, we have some reservations.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home received its second best category grade in the category of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable score. In crafting these long-term care scores, we analyze the facility's personal care services. One of the factors we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.03846 percent of its residents. The last datapoint we looked at was its hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 2.93 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Although this figure is somewhat concerning, this statistic can be skewed for some facilities based on the medical complexity of patients.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing scores also weigh quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed above average in this area. This is generally a reliable indicator of how carefully a place's nursing staff is tending to its patients. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and superior safety protocols are used.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we scored is short-term care. It received an abysmal F for this category, which is a rock bottom score. Short-term care grades are critical for people looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms 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. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 28.3 percent of its patients returning home.
