Facility Inspections
The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection score. Its inspection grade was far superior to its overall score. In the inspections category, we gave it an A. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. 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. Based on this, we still had a generally favorable view of this nursing home's recent inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we also wanted to point out that this facility received positive long-term care marks in this assessment. We gave them one of our better scores in that category, with a B. This turned out to be the nursing home's second highest score. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 57.563026 percent of its residents. This is a bit less than we expected. The last datapoint we looked at was its hospitalization rate. Here we found that this place had 3 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Although this wasn't as favorable as some of its other scores in this area, this number may be skewed for some facilities based on some of the medical complexity of residents.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing score. In fact, we gave this nursing home an D. In calculating our nursing ratings, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is slightly below average. On top of receiving below average scores for nursing hours, this place was less impressive in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and found that this place was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this metric. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many pressure ulcers are preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, this statistic really pulled down this nursing home's nursing grade substantially.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we graded is short-term care. We gave it an F for this category, which is a rock bottom grade. This is obviously a major disappointment. In determining our short-term care grades, we analyze a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This category is typically a solid assessment of the facility's rehabilitation. As you might expect, we found that this place provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical nursing home. The last item we looked at in this category is the number of residents that returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 37.8 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.
