Facility Inspections
While this facility'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 best scores. Our inspection ratings are tied to several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we gave this nursing home a B+ in our long-term care category. This happens to be one of our better scores. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 60.305344 percent of its patients. This is a bit below what we expected. The last statistic we looked at is the facility's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this facility had 2 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is close to average in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the area of short-term care, this nursing home was given just a D in this category. In our short-term care score, we seek to forge a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. We found that this place was subpar in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the data we looked at. The final metric we considered in this category is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 44.2 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
The next category we rated is nursing. We awarded this facility a D for our nursing category, leaving this as the nursing home's least impressive grade. Our nursing category includes many subcategories, most of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. In addition to receiving below average marks for nursing hours, this place was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and found that this nursing home was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this statistic. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, this statistic really pulled down this nursing home's nursing rating substantially.
