Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that area, which is one of our best scores. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid facilities that had too many deficiencies. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second most favorable area is long-term care. We awarded it a C in this category. This is essentially a middle of the road score in this category. In calculating our long-term care scores, we scrutinize the assistance with daily living received by the nursing home's residents. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.109795 percent of its patients. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. Nursing ratings are based in large part on levels of nurse staffing. With just 3.1 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, this facility's nurse staffing levels were significantly below average. Finally, we also looked at some quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home was above average in two of the major areas we considered, with solid marks for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at is short-term care. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. Our short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The last metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 38.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care score.
