Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it an A for our inspections rating. This score is significantly more impressive than the nursing home's overall score. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even with this deficiency, this place still had a relatively positive report.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded its second most favorable category grade in the category of long-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of C in this area, which is an acceptable score. Our long-term care grades are based on a nursing home's volume of nursing care. This includes a broad spectrum of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinates 97.86324 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The third best category we gave this facility in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. Short-term care grades are typically used to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation To offer highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below the national average.
Nurse Quality
This facility's least impressive area is nursing, which is the last category we assessed. For this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of D. Our nursing score focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This facility offered a meager 3.2 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is well below average. To pair with its below average totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place had bad scores in many of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of patients having falls leading to major injury. This place was at more than 150 percent of the national average in this statistic.
