Facility Inspections
We want to point out that this facility really outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best scores in this area with an A-. Our inspection ratings are based on several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This place was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+ in our long-term care category. This is one of our better scores. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are well cared for. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is too frequently a dangerous illness for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 1.25 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a substantially lower hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility received its third best category score in the area of short-term care. We awarded this facility a C in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable score. In calculating our short-term care grades, we scrutinize the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This area is considered to be a reliable assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this is below average.
Nurse Quality
The last area we scored was nursing, turned out to be this facility's least impressive category. We awarded this facility a D in that area. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home averaged just 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is not a very impressive figure. On top of its below average nursing hour totals, this place also earned poor marks in many of the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We found that a higher percentage of this place's patients suffered falls which led to major injury.
