Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that area, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid facilities with a bunch of severe deficiencies flagged. This place received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given its next most favorable category grade in the area of long-term care. We awarded this facility a C in this category, which is a decent score. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home vaccinated 98.650925 percent of its residents, which is a very respectable datapoint. This place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility received an F for its short-term care grade. Short-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we learned that this facility provides substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical nursing home. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 38.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The final area we analyzed was nursing. This nursing home was given a poor grade of F in that area. We analyzed the levels of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses worked with patients, in computing our score in this area. With a meager 3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, this place's nurse staffing levels were well below average. On top of its below average nursing hour totals, this facility also earned poor scores in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We found that a higher percentage of this place's residents experienced falls leading to major injury.
