Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection scores weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area tend to have very few severe deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we also would like to note that this nursing home received strong long-term care marks in this assessment. We gave them one of our better grades in this category, with a B. This proved to be the facility's second highest score. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 93.52679 percent of its patients. This is a few points less than we were hoping for but still a respectable percentage. Lastly, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this place had 2.11 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing grade. We gave this nursing home an D. Our nursing score focuses on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is slightly below average. On top of receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this place was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and found this nursing home was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this statistic. This is a bad sign when you consider that so many pressure ulcers are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, this statistic pulled down this nursing home's nursing score substantially.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at is short-term care, which ended up being a weak link for this facility. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in the area of short-term care. Short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Given its score in this category, we were not surprised to find that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse hours provided to its patients. Frankly, this was about what we expected here. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 37.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
