Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Long-term Care Quality
This facility fared well in the area of long-term care, with an A+ in this category. This really propped up its overall score quite a bit. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.7 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this area usually have few severe deficiencies. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Nurse Quality
Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of D. Our nursing score analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this facility also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to our fourth category, this nursing home really didn't perform very well. With an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this was this facility's worst category grade. In calculating our short-term care grades, we analyze a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This area is frequently a meaningful measure of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. With a grade of this caliber for this category, we weren't shocked to find that this nursing home was below average in two of the key staffing figures we focus on. It offered significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most facilities. The final metric we looked at in this category is the number of residents who returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 39.7 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below average.
