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. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category grades was in the category of short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B+. It actually outperformed most facilities in this area. In forming our short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to formulate a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. This place excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility supplied more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than a typical nursing home. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. In addition to excelling in the area of physical therapy hours, we found that it performed as well as just about any facility in this area with 58.5 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. There are quite a few subcategories included in this grade. Many of the criteria are tied to staffing levels. This nursing home averages just 3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, our nursing scores also factor in some quality-focused measures. We especially look at the percentage of residents who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these statistics are indicators of the quality of nursing care, since superior care can reduce these issues.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the final area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D for long-term care. This is the facility's weakest category grade. Sadly, this category hurt the nursing home's overall grade to some degree. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is more than most nursing homes. To our surprise, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.8 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
