Long-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home one of our better scores in the area of long-term care, with an impressive grade of A. This is a notably better grade than the nursing home's overall score, which was decent but not elite. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. This is a proven method to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the senior population. The last datapoint we assessed is the facility's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 1.81 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is middle of the road in this area.
Facility Inspections
We also want to emphasize this facility's nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this area. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing rating. In fact, we gave this facility an impressive grade of D. The nursing rating is based on many subcategories. The most important one is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This nursing home averaged just 2.9 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This facility performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's least impressive area is short-term care, which is the final category we scored. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this category. Despite several solid scores in other categories, this score is still alarming so we felt obligated to make sure you are aware. In determining our short-term care ratings, we scrutinize the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is generally a solid assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 36.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
