Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home really outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest scores in this category with a grade of A-. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we gave this facility a B in our long-term care category. This is one of our better grades. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are kept in good health. Once we assessed the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 99.57627 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly can be a deadly illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home does not leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. With 1.76 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home was just about middle of the pack in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the category of short-term care, this facility was awarded a grade of just D in this category. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. With a score this poor in this area, we were not surprised to discover this facility was below average in many staffing metrics we assess. The nursing home provided significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
Nurse Quality
The last area we scored was nursing, which proved to be this nursing home's worst category. We awarded this nursing home a D in this area. The nursing rating is based on many subcategories. The most important factor is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. We do not think quantity of care is the reason for this places poor nursing grade. With 4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home actually surpassed the national average. Despite being above average in terms of nursing hours, this nursing home had a few less favorable scores in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents having falls leading to major injury and found this nursing home to be above the national average in this statistic. This is not what we like to see here. We believe that many falls could likely be avoided with better nursing care. This statistic contributed to this nursing home receiving a poor nursing grade.
