Facility Inspections
Although we were not high on this nursing home's overall performance, it did receive an impressive inspection report this year with few dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that category with a B+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite minor. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given an impressive long-term care grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of B in that category, which is one of our more favorable scores. For prospective patients in need of a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 83.36163 percent of its patients. This is somewhat below what we were hoping for but still a decent percentage. The last datapoint we assessed is its hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 1.93 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is middle of the pack in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the area of short-term care, this nursing home was given a grade of just D in that area. In crafting these short-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to formulate a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. With a grade this poor in this area, we weren't shocked to discover that this nursing home was below average in multiple staffing metrics we looked at. It provided substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. The final metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 42.8 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
The next area we assessed was nursing, which turned out to be a weak spot for this nursing home. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in the area of nursing. Nursing ratings are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is below the national average. To pair with its low total nursing hours per patient, this nursing home had poor scores in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. For starters, we looked at the percent of residents having falls which led to major injury. This nursing home was at more than 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
