Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its impeccable health inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher grades in that area, with an A. This is a much better grade than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate 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
Additionally, we gave this nursing home a B in our long-term care category. This is one of our higher scores. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 78.88446 percent of its patients, which is somewhat below what we anticipated. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Despite having 1.98 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was better than most facilities due to it having more complex patients.
Nurse Quality
Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with an D. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility provided 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is below the national average. Unfortunately, this place also had terrible scores in some of the quality-based measures to pair with its low nursing hours. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and we were disappointed. This place was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this area. This is a bad sign when you consider that so many pressure ulcers could be avoided with better nursing care. This metric helped pull down this facility's nursing rating significantly.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we looked at is short-term care, ended up being this facility's weakest category. We gave this facility a D in this area. In forming these short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Considering its grade in this area, we weren't surprised to find that this place is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the figures we looked at. Frankly, this was about what we expected here. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 42.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
