Long-term Care Quality
We gave this nursing home an impressive grade of A for our long-term care rating. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 92.258064 percent of its patients. This is a bit below what we expected but still a respectable figure. The last statistic we assessed is the nursing home's hospitalization rate. We found that this facility had 2.15 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Facility Inspections
Inspections is another area where this nursing home excelled. We gave this facility an A for our inspections rating. This grade is far more impressive than its overall score. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. The nursing score is based on a variety of datapoints. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This place averages just 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is a very low figure. While this place didn't really impress in terms of the quantity of nursing care available, it actually performed admirably in a few of our quality measures. In fact, it was above average in two of the major statistics we assess, with favorable scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the next category, this facility really didn't perform well. Due to a poor grade of F in short-term care, this is its weakest category grade. Short-term care scores are critical for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last measure we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 30.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care grade.
