Facility Inspections
We want to point out that this facility really outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best scores in this area with an A+. Inspection scores are tied to items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Nurse Quality
This facility performed well in the area of nursing. In fact, we awarded it an B- for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our nursing rating is largely tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 4.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an impressive figure. Lastly, we also factored some quality-based metrics into our nursing grades. Specifically, we looked at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these areas as predictive indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a middle of the pack score in the category of long-term care, with a grade of B-. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. On top of offering favorable levels of nursing care and other staffing, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This statistic is higher than the majority of nursing homes. The last datapoint we assessed is its hospitalization rate. We found that this facility had 3.05 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this figure is quite a bit higher than the national average, this number can be skewed for some nursing homes due to the medical complexity of patients.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we assessed was short-term care. We gave it a grade of C in that area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be most important for residents needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final item we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 34.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
