Facility Inspections
To pair with its decent overall score, we gave this facility an A+ for its inspection grade. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. Inspection scores are tied to datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This means that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a strong grade in long-term care. This nursing home earned a B in this category, which happens to be one of our better grades. Facilities that do well in this category typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a great way to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. With 1.88 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home is close to average in this area.
Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-, which is a decent grade. Our nursing score analyzes quite a few datapoints, but the paramount one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these datapoints as reliable measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the final area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D for the area of short-term care. This is the facility's weakest category score. Unfortunately, this score hurt the facility's overall profile a bit. Our short-term care scores are vital for people in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of skilled nursing. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. In this facility's case, we found that it provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. Finally, we considered the number of patients that returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 14.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
