Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility really outperformed its overall grade in the category of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that category with a grade of A+. Our inspection scores are tied to many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we still had positive view of this facility's inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
The second best category we gave this facility in any area came in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a B-. In calculating these long-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's personal care services. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility provided the vaccine to 97.31544 percent of its patients, which is an above average datapoint. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. Although it had 2.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was not too bad.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second least favorable score was short-term care, where it earned a grade of just D in that area. This is a well below average grade. Short-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this place provides substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 49.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was below average.
Nurse Quality
The final category we rated is nursing, which was this nursing home's weakest area. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is certainly a major disappointment. Our nursing grade assesses the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This place averaged just 3.1 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. On top of its below average nursing hours, this nursing home received suboptimal scores in many of the quality-based metrics we considered in determining our nursing scores. We found that more of this place's residents experienced falls leading to serious injury. We believe that many falls could likely be prevented with better nursing care. This metric contributed to this facility receiving a poor nursing score.
