Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's short-term care score turns out to be one of its higher scores. The nursing home was awarded a grade of B- in this category. Our short-term care grades are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we graded is long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B-. In the category of long-term care, we look at the amount of services offered by a facility, as opposed to more sophisticated services. One of the factors we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.61 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the last category, this facility received a decent nursing grade of C. Our nursing score analyzes the facility's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provides 2.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we like to look at quality-based metrics, such as the percent of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these statistics are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care.
