Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall grade, we gave this nursing home an A for our inspections rating. This is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also received a positive long-term care score. In fact, we gave them a B+ in that category, which happens to be one of our better. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. One of the criteria we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.68074 percent of its patients. This is a great way to minimize negative health outcomes for the nursing home population. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.14 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a score of D. In determining a facility's nursing grade, we weigh the number of hours nurses are caring for residents and the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is slightly below the national average. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the fourth category, this facility didn't perform very well. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in short-term care, this is this nursing home's worst grade. In calculating these short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Considering its grade in this area, we were not surprised to discover that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the figures we looked at. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 28.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
