Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a grade of A- for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
The second best area we gave this facility in any category came in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a B-. Long-term care grades are generally used to judge a facility's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services offered by a skilled nursing facility. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 95.987656 percent of its patients. The last statistic we assessed is the facility's hospitalization rate. Although it had 2.29 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was not too far off the national average.
Nurse Quality
We were stunned to find that this facility also excelled in the area of nursing. We gave it an impressive grade of D for that category, which is one of our highest grades. Nursing grades are mostly tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is slightly below average. Unfortunately, this facility also had abysmal scores in several of the quality-based metrics to pair with its weak nursing hours. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers. This facility was at more than twice the national average in this metric. This is quite alarming when you consider that so many pressure ulcers are preventable with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the facility's fate of earning a poor nursing grade.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we graded is short-term care. This nursing home was given a very poor grade of F in that area. In forming our short-term care ratings, 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 goal is to create a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Considering its grade in this area, we were not stunned to discover that this place is well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 36 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
