Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its excellent health inspection reports in recent years. We gave them an A in this category. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's second highest area is its long-term care score, where it was awarded a B-. In forming these long-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's personal care services. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 95.38461 percent of its patients, which is better than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 2.12 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure was less impressive than its other scores in the long-term care area.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home only received a D for its short-term care rating, which is not a very good score. In computing these short-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Considering its poor grade in this area, we weren't shocked to learn this nursing home offers significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This facility a bit in this area as well, with just 46.5 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the last category, we gave this nursing home a grade of D for nursing. This is the nursing home's weakest category rating. Our nursing rating looks at the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This particular nursing home provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below average. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility.
