Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility's overall grade, it received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our highest grades in that category with an A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively insignificant. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this facility's more favorable category grades came in the area of short-term care. This wound up being its second best category. In that area, we gave this facility a C. Our short-term care scores are important for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. When we looked at this facility's physical therapist hours, we found it offered more hours of physical therapy per day to its residents than most nursing homes. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it was above average in this area with 49.2 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. When computing our nursing scores, we factor in both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is slightly below average. Unfortunately, this nursing home also had terrible marks in some of the quality-based measures to pair with its low nursing hour totals. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and we were disappointed. This place was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this measure.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we scored was long-term care, in which this facility was given a rock bottom grade in this category as well. It received an abysmal F in this category, which is obviously somewhat alarming. For patients looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 96.98795 percent of its residents, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.72 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
