Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home performed even better in our inspections category which is associated with the nursing home's recent government inspection reports. In fact, we awarded it an A+ for this category, which is one of our highest scores. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a score of A- for our long-term care score. When facilities receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 94.776115 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is more than most nursing homes. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.16 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a significantly lower hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this was not one of this facility's strong suits. We awarded it a grade of D in this category. Clearly, this facility performed much better in the categories discussed above. In calculating a facility's nursing score, we consider the amount of time nurses commit to residents and the levels of training of the nurses. With just 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were significantly below average. While this facility's nursing hours are below average, it actually surprised us in some of the qualitative metrics in this category. In particular, we were pleased to see that its patients appear to be experiencing fewer pressure ulcers than the national average.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to our last area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D for our short-term care category. This was the nursing home's least impressive category grade. Naturally, this score pulled down the facility's overall profile a bit. Short-term care grades are generally employed to judge a facility's rehabilitation services. To offer highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, we discovered that this place offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We were surprised to find that it performed better in this area, with 53.5 percent of its residents returning home. This was just about this nursing home's sole highlight in this area.
