Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second best area ended up being short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a B-. In our short-term care category, we endeavor to create a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. We were extremely impressed to find that this facility offers its residents substantially more physical therapist hours than most other nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This place performed decently in this area, with 46.4 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with an D. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of training of the nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home averages 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below the national average. On top of receiving below average marks for nursing hours, this place was less impressive in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and found that this place was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this statistic. This is a bad sign when you consider that so many bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. This statistic really pulled down this facility's nursing rating significantly.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at is long-term care, is this nursing home's worst category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this category. In a long-term care environment, the primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinated 99.05123 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.12 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
