Facility Inspections
The primary reason this facility received a decent overall score is its impeccable health inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an A-. This is a much better score than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. Our inspection scores are tied to pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this area have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's better category grades came in the category of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this area. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 99.3311 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.87 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. Nursing ratings are tied to quantity of nursing care available. This facility provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, 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 view these statistics as predictive indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we graded is short-term care, ended up being this facility's weakest area. We awarded this facility a D in this category. Short-term care grades are important for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing. This means a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients that returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 36.5 percent of its patients returning home.
