Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection scores are tied to many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's higher category scores was in the category of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 99.73891 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this place had 2.77 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this wasn't as favorable as most of its other scores in this category, this figure can be skewed for some facilities based on some of the medical complexity of patients.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. The nursing grade analyzes several subcategories, however, the most important consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. According to its staffing data, this place provided an average of 3.9 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which was above the national average. 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 look at these areas as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we graded is short-term care. This facility was awarded a C in this category. In determining our short-term care grades, we size up a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This score is generally a meaningful measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final item we considered in this category is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 36.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
