Long-term Care Quality
This place excelled in our long-term care category. We awarded it an A- for that area. This helped its overall profile. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are well cared for. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 98.99666 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is too frequently a life threatening illness for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't take any chances. The last datapoint we looked at was the nursing home's hospitalization rate. We found that this facility had 2.54 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Facility Inspections
We also wanted to emphasize this facility's nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of B+ in this category. Inspection ratings are tied to many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's inspections. Facilities that excel in this category have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. 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 always a good sign.
Short-term Care Quality
The third category we looked at is short-term care, where this nursing home was given a grade of C in this area. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The final statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. This place was respectable in this metric with 48.2 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the final category, we gave this facility a grade of D for the area of nursing. This was the nursing home's least impressive category grade. Nursing ratings are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is slightly below the national average. Unfortunately, this nursing home also had terrible marks in several of the quality-based measures to go along with its weak nursing hours. For starters, we looked at the percent of patients experiencing pressure ulcers. This facility was at more than twice the national average in this statistic. This is alarming when you consider that many bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the nursing home's fate of receiving a very weak nursing rating.
