Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was decent, 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 take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. We weren't able to track down deficiency counts for this nursing home. We would like to have more data for this facility. Without having complete information regarding deficiencies, it ended up being difficult to grade it in this category.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we also wanted to point out that this nursing home was awarded impressive long-term care marks this year. We gave them one of our better grades in that category, with a B. This turned out to be the facility's second strongest grade. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 99.66777 percent of its residents, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this nursing home had 2.76 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. While this wasn't as favorable as some of its other scores in this area, this number can be skewed for some nursing homes based on the medical complexity of patients.
Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home's third best category was short-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this area, it still performed relatively poorly. Short-term care grades are often employed to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation To have high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 40.9 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
This facility's least impressive area is nursing, which is the last area we scored. For this area, we awarded this nursing home a D. The nursing rating assesses several factors, however, the main one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is below the national average. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these scores hurt this facility's nursing grade quite a bit.
