Facility Inspections
The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection score. Its inspection grade was far superior to its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave this facility an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the area of long-term care, we gave this facility a grade of A- in that area. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the elderly population. The last datapoint we looked at was the nursing home's hospitalization rate. We found that this place had 4.24 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Although this admittedly wasn't as impressive as some of its other scores in this category, this number can be skewed for some facilities based on the preexisting medical conditions of residents.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. We weighed the skill-level of nurses working for the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses worked with patients, in determining our rating in this area. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these metrics. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed well in this subcategory. This is usually a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of moving residents more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we analyzed is short-term care. Sadly, it received an F in this area, which is a bottom of the barrel score. This is obviously a major concern. Short-term care grades are often used to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to offer high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. 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 assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 11.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
