Facility Inspections
Although we didn't rate this facility favorably overall, we did give it an excellent score in the area of inspections, where it received an A-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Incredibly, this facility genuinely seems to have performed well in the area of long-term care as well. Indeed, we awarded it a score of A- for that area, which is one of our most impressive scores. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. This is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary deaths for the elderly population. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. With 1.82 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility was close to average in this area.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. We looked at the licensure of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the number of hours those nurses spent with residents, in calculating our grade in this area. With only 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below average. On top of receiving below average scores for total nursing hours, this place was a bit 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 place was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this statistic. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many pressure ulcers are preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, this statistic really dragged down this nursing home's nursing score significantly.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed is short-term care. It received an F for this area, which is a very poor grade. Our short-term care scores are believed to be more important for people in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Given its score in this area, we were not stunned to learn that this facility was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the figures we assessed. Frankly, this was about what we expected to find. The last metric we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 36.8 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below average.
