Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. We were not able to track down information about this nursing home's deficiencies. We would like to have more data for this nursing home. Without all of the deficiency related data, it was challenging to assess this nursing home in the area of inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was awarded a favorable score in our long-term care category. We gave this facility a better than average grade of B in this category. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. Once we assessed the volume of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 46.666668 percent of its residents for pneumonia. The last statistic we assessed is the facility's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this facility had 7.28 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. While this wasn't as impressive as some of its other scores in this category, this statistic may be skewed for some nursing homes due to some of the preexisting medical conditions of residents.
Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. When calculating a nursing home's nursing rating, we assess the amount of time nurses are caring for residents as well as the level of skill of those nurses. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed a few nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these datapoints. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this area. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a policy of turning a patient more often.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at was short-term care, which ended up being a weak spot for this nursing home. We gave this nursing home a grade of D for the area of short-term care. In computing our short-term care grades, we size up the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This rating is more often than not a solid assessment of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. With a score in this range for this area, we were not shocked to discover that this nursing home was below average in two of the key staffing areas we focus on. The nursing home provided far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last area we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. It fared better in this area, with 49.8 percent of its patients returning home. This was just about this nursing home's only redeeming quality in this category.
