Long-term Care Quality
This facility's overall grade was propped up by a strong long-term care score. We gave them one of our better scores in that category, with a B+. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 91.19497 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is somewhat below what we anticipated but still a respectable percentage. The last statistic we looked at is its hospitalization rate. Although it had 2.36 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was close to the national average due to it having some more complicated patients.
Facility Inspections
Inspections is another category where this nursing home excelled. We awarded this facility an B+ for our inspections rating. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Nursing grades are based in large part on nurse staffing levels. This nursing home provided just 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a relatively low total compared to most facilities. Finally, we look at quality-based statistics, such as the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these datapoints are decent measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we rated is short-term care, was this nursing home's least impressive area. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in this category. Short-term care ratings are crucial for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a vast range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Given its score in this area, we weren't stunned to discover that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Frankly, this was what we expected here. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 31.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
