Facility Inspections
This nursing home earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its excellent health inspection reports in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A in this category. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category grades came in the area of short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B. In our short-term care grade, we attempt to create a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. One of this nursing home's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it offers more care from registered nurses to its residents than most facilities. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that it performed decently in this area, with 49.1 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. When computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we weigh the number of hours nurses are seeing patients and the levels of training of those nurses. This nursing home averages 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grade also includes relevant quality-based metrics. While this nursing home excelled in terms of quantity of nursing hours, it fell short in certain metrics that focused on quality. This nursing home's nursing score was hurt by its weak performance in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers. In fact, we found that 17.8 percent of this nursing home's patients experienced pressure ulcers. Since some pressure ulcers could be avoided with good nursing protocols, we reduce a facility's nursing rating when we see this kind of frequency of pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the final area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D for the area of long-term care. This is the facility's weakest category score. Unfortunately, this score hurt the facility's overall profile a bit. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 99.60159 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 1.6 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
