Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection grades are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this nursing home a B in our short-term care category. This happens to be one of our more impressive grades. In our short-term care category, we try to craft a fair barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides a greater volume of physical therapist hours to its residents than the average nursing home. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. On top of excelling in the area of physical therapy hours, we found that it performed as well as just about any facility in the nation in this area with 57.8 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. When computing our nursing scores, we weigh both staffing levels and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This facility provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, 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 good indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we graded was long-term care. It received an abysmal F for this area, which is a bottom of the barrel score. This is obviously a major concern. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.53 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
