Long-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home a solid grade in our long-term care rating, where it earned a B+. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this facility had 2.32 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to note that this facility received an B in the category of nursing. The nursing rating is based on many components, but the paramount consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home's inspection score also was quite a bit better than its overall grade. Due to a strong inspection report this year, it earned one of our better scores in that category with a B. Our inspection scores are based on many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this category have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we graded was short-term care, which turned out to be this nursing home's weakest area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that area. Unfortunately, this score hurt the facility's overall grade to a certain degree. In computing our short-term care scores, we analyze a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This rating is typically a fair assessment of the facility's rehabilitation. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 31.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
