Long-term Care Quality
We gave this place one of our better scores in the area of long-term care, where it received an A. This is a much better grade than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 88.11881 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is a few points below what we anticipated but still a decent percentage. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this nursing home had 3.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. While this wasn't as impressive as most of its other scores in this category, this statistic may be skewed for some nursing homes due to the preexisting medical conditions of residents.
Facility Inspections
We also want to emphasize this facility's nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of B+ in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Our nursing rating assesses the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of training of those nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. 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. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of these quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this statistic. This can be an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of turning patients more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the fourth category, we gave this facility a D for the area of short-term care. This is the nursing home's weakest category grade. Of course, this category hurt the facility's overall grade to some degree. Our short-term care scores are probably more critical for individuals in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. It appears that this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the staffing figures we assessed. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 41.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
