Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a grade of A for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily 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 B-. Our nursing score analyzes the facility's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also weighed some quality-based measures. This place fared well in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In terms of the percentage of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this place beat the national average.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best area ended up being its short-term care grade, where it was given a grade of C. In computing our short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This area is typically a reliable measure of a facility's rehabilitation. We found that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. The facility supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. It is important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The last metric we assessed in this category is the number of patients that returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 42.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. This figure was below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed was long-term care. This facility received a bottom of the barrel grade of F in this area. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care may not provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes provide. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 63.35404 percent of its patients. This is multiple points lower than what we expected. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.76 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
