Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, 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 highest scores. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was awarded a strong long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it one of our most favorable scores in this area with a grade of A-. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a proven method to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. The last datapoint we looked at is its hospitalization rate. Here we found that this facility had 2.34 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we gave this nursing home an F. This is certainly not one of this facility's better areas. The nursing score considers a number of factors. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home averages 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below the national average. On top of receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this nursing home was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of patients suffering pressure ulcers and found that this facility was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's weakest category is short-term care, which is the final area we looked at. We gave it a lowly F in this area. Even with several acceptable scores in other areas, this score is nevertheless concerning so we wanted to make sure you are aware. With our short-term care grade, we endeavor to forge a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Based on its abysmal score in this area, we were not surprised to find that this nursing home provides substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final metric we considered in this category is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 25.4 percent of its residents returning home.
