Facility Inspections
The main reason this facility received a decent overall score is its excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better scores in that category, with an A+. This is a notably better score than the place's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being quite insignificant. This nursing home was hit with 2 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 imminent risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also wanted to note that this nursing home received a great long-term care grade. In fact, we gave it one of our most favorable scores in that area with a score of A-. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This is a proven method to avoid negative health outcomes for the nursing home population. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.13 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of D. Our nursing score is based on several components, but the main consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provided just 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to our last category, this facility really didn't perform well. With a rock bottom grade of F in short-term care, this is its poorest area. In forming these short-term care grades, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well in this area. In fact, we found that just 31.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
