Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection ratings are based on datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility an impressive grade in long-term care. This facility earned a B in this area, which turns out to be one of our more favorable grades. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 85.01873 percent of its residents. The last statistic we looked at was the nursing home's hospitalization rate. We found that this facility had 1.89 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is close to average in this area.
Nurse Quality
Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of D. Our nursing score includes several subcategories, but the main consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is below the national average. This facility also had terrible scores in some of the quality-based measures to go along with its weak nursing hour totals. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and we were very disappointed. This facility was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we scored was short-term care. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this category, which is a rock bottom grade. This is obviously a significant disappointment. Our short-term care ratings are critical for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 40 percent of its residents returning home.
