Facility Inspections
The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection score. Its inspection score was far superior to its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A-. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we still had favorable view of this facility's recent inspections.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was awarded a positive score in our short-term care category. We awarded this facility an above average grade of B+ in that category. Our short-term care scores are probably more meaningful for people in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. One of this nursing home's strengths is physical therapy hours. We found that it offers more hours with physical therapists to its residents than most facilities. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. In addition to excelling in the area of physical therapy staffing, we found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home with 59.5 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. Our nursing score analyzes the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of skill of the nurses and the number of hours spent with patients. This facility provided just 3.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a low total compared to most facilities. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. We especially like to look at the percent of residents who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these statistics are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care, since superior care can reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we rated was long-term care. It received a lowly F for this category, which is a very poor score. This is obviously a significant disappointment. For prospective residents seeking a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. After we finished assessing the amount of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinates 96.12676 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. With 2 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home didn't fare quite as well.
