Short-term Care Quality
We gave this facility a grade of A- in short-term care. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for people in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing. This includes a vast scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides a greater volume of physical therapist hours to its residents than the average nursing home. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who returned home from this nursing home. In addition to excelling in the area of physical therapy hours, we found that it performed as well as just about any facility in the nation with 59.7 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-, which is a decent grade. Nursing grades are mostly based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. While this facility excelled in terms of quantity of nursing hours, it lagged a bit in some of the metrics that related to quality. This nursing home's nursing score was hurt by poor performance in the area of minimizing pressure ulcers. In fact, we found that 14.3 percent of this facility's residents experienced pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed is long-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of D for our long-term care category, leaving this as the nursing home's weakest category. For patients looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 98.97611 percent of its residents. Unfortunately, this place's hospitalization rate was far less impressive. We found that this nursing home had 2.54 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an alarming rate.
