Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. This grade is far better than the facility's overall score. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area usually have few severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A few relatively minor dings are not necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's more impressive category scores came in the area of short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+. Short-term care grades are typically employed to grade a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To offer quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this facility. This place outperformed the vast majority of facilities in the nation with 59.3 percent of its residents returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. When calculating a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the number of hours nurses spend with patients as well as the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home provides 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at a few quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home was above average in several of the major metrics we focus on, including minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed was long-term care, was this nursing home's worst area. We gave this facility a grade of D in that category. This is one of the couple of weak points in a very solid report card. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.6 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
