Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it an A for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a positive long-term care score. Indeed, we awarded them a B in this category, which is one of our better. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are kept in good health. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 51.955307 percent of its residents. This is a bit below what we expected. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. With 1.91 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this place was close to average in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
Another issue is the F this nursing home received in the area of short-term care. Short-term care grades are important for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 44.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The last area we graded is nursing, in which this nursing home received a rock bottom grade here as well. It received an F in this category, which is definitely a major concern. Our nursing score features a variety of factors. The most important factor is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This particular nursing home offered a meager 3.2 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is well below average. In addition to receiving below average marks for nursing hours, this place was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents suffering pressure ulcers and found that this nursing home was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this metric.
