Short-term Care Quality
We gave this nursing home one of our higher grades in the area of short-term care, where it earned an impressive grade of A. This is notably better than its overall grade, which was certainly not elite. In calculating our short-term care grades, we scrutinize the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This category is often a meaningful measure of a facility's rehabilitation. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more than seven hours of care per week from registered nurses to each resident. This is really the gold standard in this area, as it's about 50% higher than the average facility's level of registered nurse staffing. The final metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. It fared as well as just about any facility in Arizona in this area with 67.5 percent of its patients returning home. For most facilities, less than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
Inspections is another area where this facility excelled. We gave this facility an A- for our inspections rating. This is far more impressive than its overall score. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C, which is a decent grade. Our nursing category analyzes several datapoints, many of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This place provided just 3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is a relatively low figure. Nevertheless, more than one quarter of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most highly skilled levels of nurses. This is a high percentage of skilled nursing care, which we weight more in our nursing ratings. In addition to ranking poorly in terms of nursing hours offered, this facility also lagged behind in certain statistics that focus on quality of care. This place's nursing rating was pulled down by poor performance in the area of minimizing pressure ulcers. We found that 20.3 percent of this facility's patients experienced pressure ulcers. This is more than double the average nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our final area, this nursing home didn't perform very well. Due to a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this was this nursing home's worst grade. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 95.2381 percent of its residents, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this place also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
