Nurse Quality
While we were not very complementary of this facility's overall grade, it actually received an impressive grade of A- in the area of nursing. The nursing rating consists of a handful of factors, however, the main consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. With 4.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the national average. Lastly, this nursing home also excelled in several of the quality-based metrics we assessed. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home in the country in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
This facilities second most favorable category is short-term care. We gave it a C in this area. This is basically a slightly below average grade in this category. Our short-term care ratings are probably most critical for residents needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. It supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. It is important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 22.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Facility Inspections
This facility received slightly below average inspections in recent years. We awarded them a C in this area. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. To our surprise, this nursing home was assessed a category J through K deficiency, which are some of the worst deficiencies. This generally means CMS identified a deficiency which places patient health or safety in immediate danger. Lastly, we would like to point out that this place received some government fines in recent years. We were relieved to find that these were not on the high end as government fines go. However, this still isn't what you hoped to find.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's worst area is long-term care, which is the last area we assessed. In this category, we awarded this facility a D. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 99.51219 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
