Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
To go along with its favorable overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Adding to its profile, this nursing home also received a score of B for its long-term care rating. This is a well above average score in this area. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 43.82716 percent of its residents. This is slightly lower than we anticipated but still a decent percentage. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Our nursing grade weighs a number of factors. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility Kentucky in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a policy of turning patients at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to our last area, this facility was awarded a grade of C for short-term care, which is generally a respectable score. Our short-term care ratings are critical for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well below the national average.
