Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A-. Few facilities performed better in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Nurse Quality
This facility's second best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. When calculating a nursing home's nursing score, we look at the quantity of hours nurses are with patients as well as the levels of training of the nurses. According to its CMS data, this facility provided an average of 4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which was above the national average. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these statistics as predictive indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a solid score in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.41 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we graded was short-term care, which turned out to be a weak spot for this nursing home. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in the area of short-term care. In determining our short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This rating is typically a solid measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 44.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
