Facility Inspections
On top of performing well in its overall grade, this facility performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A+. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, 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 facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded an impressive short-term care score as well. We gave it one of our higher scores in that category with a score of B+. Our short-term care grades are based on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This was more of a strength for this nursing home. It fared as well as just about any nursing home in Kentucky in this area with 56.3 percent of its residents returning home. With most facilities, fewer than half of their short-stay patients return home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home is also above average in the category of long-term care, where it received a score of B. It performed more favorably than most nursing homes in this category. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a life threatening illness for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility does not take any chances. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.39 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's worst area is nursing, which is the last category we analyzed. In this area, we awarded this nursing home a D. Nursing scores are based largely on nurse staffing levels. This nursing home averages 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below the national average. Unfortunately, this nursing home also did not fare as well as we had hoped in some of the quality measures we assessed for this category.
