Facility Inspections
The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection grade. Its inspection score was far superior to its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave it a grade of A. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
The second best category we gave this nursing home in any category came in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a B-. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an above average percentage. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.58 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. Our nursing grade assesses the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home averages just 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, our nursing scores also factor in some quality-focused measures. We especially look at the percentage of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These datapoints are indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care can reduce these issues.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's worst area was short-term care, which is the final category we looked at. For this category, we gave this nursing home a D. Our short-term care grades are likely most meaningful for people needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. This means not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Based on its abysmal rating in this area, we weren't surprised to find that this nursing home provided far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 39.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
