Facility Inspections
The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection grade. Its inspection score was far superior to its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave it a grade of A+. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
The second best category we gave this nursing home in any category came in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a B-. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an above average percentage. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.14 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a significantly better hospitalization rate than the majority of nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second lowest category is short-term care, where it earned a grade of just D in that category. This is a relatively poor score. In determining our short-term care scores, we size up a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This score is often a solid assessment of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Considering its score in this area, we were not stunned to learn that this facility was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Honestly, this was about what we expected here. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 42 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
The last area we rated is nursing. Sadly, it received an F in this category, which is a poor score. This is certainly a major concern. The nursing grade weighs numerous data points. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home averages 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below the national average. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility.
