Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility really outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest grades in this category with an A. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the area of short-term care, we awarded this nursing home a score of A- in that category. Short-term care grades are typically used to score a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to provide high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. Remarkably, this facility provides its residents with at least 50% more physical therapist hours per week than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes in the country in this area with 62.2 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The third category we assessed was long-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a grade of B- in this area. For patients seeking a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to a relatively low 89.10891 percent of its patients, which is quite a bit lower than we expected. Unfortunately, this nursing home's hospitalization rate was also below average. We found that this nursing home had 2.68 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Although this figure is quite a bit higher than the national average, this number may be skewed for some facilities based on the medical complexity of patients
Nurse Quality
The final area we scored is nursing, turned out to be this facility's worst category. We awarded this facility a D in this category. This was one of the couple of dings on an otherwise impressive profile. Our nursing grade assesses the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of skill of the nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below average. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This place had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These scores hurt this facility's nursing grade quite a bit.
