Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this facility overall, we awarded it an A for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
The second most favorable category we gave this facility in any area came in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. Our long-term care grade assesses a facility's assistance with daily living rather than the skilled nursing or medical services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated a relatively low 87.64045 percent of its patients. Lastly, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. This facility did not excel here either, with 2.77 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Although this figure is somewhat concerning, this number may be skewed for some nursing homes based on the preexisting medical conditions of residents.
Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. Nursing scores are based in large part on levels of nurse staffing. This particular facility averaged just 3.1 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This figure is far below average. In addition to receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this nursing home was less impressive in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and found that this nursing home was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this metric.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we scored is short-term care, which was a low point for this facility. We gave this nursing home a grade of D for the area of short-term care. In calculating these short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. In this facility's case, it looks like it provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical facility. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 38.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
