Facility Inspections
Although we were not high on this place overall, we awarded it a B for our inspections rating. This score is much more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. Our inspection scores account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid nursing homes with a bunch of deficiencies flagged. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a favorable grade in long-term care. This facility received a grade of B in this category, which turns out to be one of our higher grades. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are kept in good health. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 97.786995 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly can be a life threatening health condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility doesn't take any chances. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this facility had 2.17 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received its next best category grade in the area of short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in this category, which is a decent grade. In crafting our short-term care grades, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to formulate a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. It performed well in this area with 57.4 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
The last area we assessed was nursing, which proved to be a low point for this nursing home. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D for our nursing category. We scrutinized the licensure of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the number of hours the nurses spent with residents, in calculating our grade in this area. This nursing home averages 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below the national average. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this place also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these scores pulled down this facility's nursing grade quite a bit.
