Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility really excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A-. Few facilities performed better in this area. Inspection ratings are tied to pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we also would like to point out that this nursing home received favorable short-term care marks this year. We awarded them one of our more favorable grades in this category, with a grade of B+. This turned out to be the facility's second strongest grade. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to grade a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To offer highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. It fared as well as just about any facility in Illinois in this area with 64.3 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, at most facilities, less than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. There are a host of criteria within this area. Most of the datapoints reflect the quantity of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below the national average. Finally, we also factored a few quality measures into our nursing grades. This place was relatively weak in two of the major metrics we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are typically good indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the next category, this nursing home really didn't fare very well. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this was this nursing home's poorest category grade. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means the facility didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to resident care. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were disappointed to learn that this facility vaccinated only 83.49515 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Unfortunately, this nursing home's hospitalization rate was also a cause for concern. We found that this nursing home had 2.51 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an alarming rate.
