Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this place overall, we awarded it a B+ for our inspections category. This score is much better than the place's overall grade. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. Not having any deficiencies is this facility's greatest strength.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best category turned out to be its short-term care grade, where it was given a B-. Our short-term care ratings are believed to be most important for individuals in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The last measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Nurse Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. Our nursing grade is based on quite a few subcategories, however, the main one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below the national average. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This place had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These metrics pulled down this facility's nursing grade quite a bit.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed is long-term care, ended up being this nursing home's worst category. We awarded this nursing home a D in this area. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable datapoint. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.31 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
