Facility Inspections
This nursing home earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its excellent inspection reports in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor dings are not necessarily something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
The second most favorable area we gave this nursing home in any category came in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 92.61084 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Next, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. Although it had 2.16 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was not as bad.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's third most favorable area is short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a C. Our short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 41.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this is below average.
Nurse Quality
The final category we graded is nursing. We awarded this facility a C in this area. The nursing rating assesses quite a few factors, however, the most important consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provided 4.2 hours of nursing care per resident daily, which was among the higher totals we found. Finally, we also factored some quality measures into our nursing grades. Specifically, we looked at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these metrics as reliable measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
