Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this nursing home an A+ for its inspection grade. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall rating. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a favorable long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded them a grade of B in this area, which is one of our more favorable scores. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in this category tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure residents are well cared for. After considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 95.15306 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.45 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
Another concern was the F this facility was given in the category of short-term care. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. It looks like this nursing home was below average in several staffing metrics we assessed. In fact, it offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 38.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to our final area, this nursing home did not perform very well. With a very poor grade of F in nursing, this is its poorest grade. Our nursing grade weighs numerous data points. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This facility averaged just 2.7 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This number is quite a bit below average. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home.
