Facility Inspections
While we were not very complementary of this nursing home's overall score, it actually received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that category with a grade of A-. Our inspection scores are based on datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid facilities with severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
The second highest area we gave this facility in any category came in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a C. In the area of long-term care, we analyze the quantity of services offered by a facility, as opposed to more sophisticated services. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 99.16318 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. The last datapoint we looked at is the facility's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this facility had 1.88 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is not too bad.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. There are a host of datapoints included in this category. Many of the datapoints are tied to staffing levels. This nursing home provides 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we graded is short-term care. This nursing home was given a rock bottom grade of F in that area. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Given its poor grade, we were not shocked to find that this nursing home provided substantially fewer registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well in this area. In fact, we found that just 43.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
