Facility Inspections
This facility earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We gave them an A+ in this category. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
The second most favorable category we gave this facility in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Our short-term care grade is often employed to assess a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to offer quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. It performed respectably with 48.5 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. Our nursing rating assesses a handful of datapoints, however, the primary consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This particular nursing home provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Although this nursing home excelled in terms of quantity of nursing hours, it lagged a bit in some of the subcategories that focused on quality. This facility's nursing rating was hurt by its subpar performance in the area of minimizing pressure ulcers. We found that 12 percent of this nursing home's patients suffered from pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we graded is long-term care, which turned out to be a weak link for this nursing home. We gave this nursing home a D in our long-term care category. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category may not provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes provide. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 92.60143 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be a few points less than we expected but still a respectable figure. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.18 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
