Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received an impressive short-term care score this year. We awarded it a grade of B in this category. In determining our short-term care scores, we size up a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This area is considered to be a solid measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides a substantially greater volume of physical therapist hours to its residents than the average nursing home. 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 majority of facilities in the country with 50.8 percent of its residents able to return home.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. The nursing score includes many factors, but the paramount one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This particular facility provided just 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This figure is far below average. Finally, although this facility did not rank well in terms of nursing hours, it fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. In terms of the number of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this place fared better than the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed was long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a decent grade of C. Our long-term care ratings are pivotal for residents requiring non-healthcare services such as personal care. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 92.22222 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be a bit less than we were hoping for but still a respectable figure. The last datapoint we looked at is the nursing home's hospitalization rate. We found that this place had a relatively high 2.92 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Neither its vaccination record nor its hospitalization rate were strengths for this nursing home in this area.
Facility Inspections
Looking to our final category of inspections, we gave this facility a grade of just just D, which is a relatively poor grade. Our inspection grade is based on the nursing home's government inspection reports. Since this data is collected by government inspectors, we place a great deal of weight on it in our overall grades. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. We recommend you scrutinize the level of severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility also received 8 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
