Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best scores in this category with an A. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also received a favorable short-term care grade. As a matter of fact, we awarded them a B in that area, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. In our short-term care category, we attempt to create a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This proved to be a real strength for this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of facilities in the country with 61.1 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most nursing homes.
Long-term Care Quality
The next highest category we awarded this nursing home in any area came in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a B-. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of offering quality levels of nursing care and other staffing, this facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This percentage is higher than most nursing homes. This combination proved to be successful as this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
The next category we graded is nursing, which turned out to be this nursing home's least impressive area. We gave this facility a grade of D in this area. Naturally, this score hurt the facility's overall profile a bit. When determining a facility's nursing rating, we assess the number of hours nurses are with residents as well as the level of skill of the nurses. In this nursing home's case, quantity of care does not appear to be the problem. According to its CMS data, this nursing home provided an average of 4.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which was above the national average. Despite performing well in terms of nursing hours, this facility was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and found that this place was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this statistic. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, this statistic pulled down this facility's nursing grade substantially.
