Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in this category with an A-. Inspection scores are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this area have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Nurse Quality
This facility also excelled in the category of nursing, where it earned an B. Nursing scores are mostly based on a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded its third most favorable category grade in the category of long-term care. We awarded this facility a B- in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable score. Our long-term care ratings are more critical for those needing more traditional services related to personal care. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 97.23502 percent of its patients for pneumonia. The last datapoint we looked at is the nursing home's hospitalization rate. Although it had 2.78 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was not too bad.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we graded is short-term care, which is a weak spot for this facility. We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D for the area of short-term care. In computing our short-term care ratings, we assess a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This area is generally a reliable assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Considering its score in this category, we were not stunned to discover that this facility is well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The final measure we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 45.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
