Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that category with an A-. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received a favorable grade in our short-term care category. We gave this nursing home an above average grade of B in this category. Short-term care grades are generally used to measure a facility's rehabilitation services. To have highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. When we looked at this facility's physical therapist hours, we found it offered more hours of physical therapy per day to its residents than most nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of facilities with 56.3 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a score of D. We analyzed the qualifications of nurses at the facility, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses worked with residents, in determining our grade in this area. This facility offered a meager 3.1 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is well below the national average. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this place had really poor scores in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at in determining our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing falls which led to major injury. This nursing home was at more than 150 percent of the national average in this statistic. This is quite alarming in light of the fact that so many falls could be prevented with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the nursing home's fate of earning a poor nursing score.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we graded was long-term care, which was a low point for this facility. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D for the area of long-term care. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.34211 percent of its residents. Unfortunately, this nursing home's hospitalization rate was far less impressive. Here we found that this place had 2.36 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a concerning rate.
