Long-term Care Quality
One of the main reasons this turned out to be a strong nursing home is that it earned a very impressive long-term care grade. This was its best grade. In that area, we gave this facility an A. Facilities that excel in this category tend to provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 98.74477 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. The last statistic we looked at was its hospitalization rate. Although it had 2.12 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was close to the national average since it had more complex patients.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. While this wasn't quite as good as some of its other category grades, this isn't a bad score either. In determining a nursing home's nursing score, we assess the quantity of hours nurses are caring for residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This place provided just 3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other nursing homes. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's weakest category was short-term care, which is the final category we looked at. We gave it an F for this area. Despite a few excellent scores in other categories, this score is still a bit concerning so we felt obligated to make sure you are aware. In computing these short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 36.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
