Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our best scores. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. Our nursing grade is mostly associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This facility averages 3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is not an impressive total. Finally, we also baked some quality-based metrics into our nursing ratings. This nursing home was subpar in two of the major areas we look at, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next most favorable area is its long-term care score, where it was awarded a grade of C. In determining these long-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's personal care services. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is more than most nursing homes. The last datapoint we assessed is the nursing home's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this facility had 1.76 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is not too far off the national average.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at was short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this category, which is an abysmal grade. In crafting our short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to devise a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 22.7 percent of its patients returning home.
