Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We were also surprised to find that this facility received a decent nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of C in that category. Our nursing score is largely tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at a few quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This place was above average in two of the major areas we assessed, with good scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These statistics are typically good indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home only received a grade of D for its long-term care rating, which is not a score to write home about. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is better than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.15 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at was short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is a poor score. Our short-term care grade is often used to score a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to offer high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 31.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
