Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. These inspection grades 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. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable area was short-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a slightly below average score in this area. In calculating our short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This grade is typically a solid measure of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. This nursing home is respectable both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who returned home from the facility. We found that it performed well in this area with 59.6 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, at most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the category of long-term care, this nursing home was given just a D in this category. Facilities that don't fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 92.1875 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be a few points below what we anticipated but still a decent figure. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.5 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
Nurse Quality
This facility's worst area was nursing, which is the final category we looked at. In this area, we awarded this nursing home a D. Our nursing grade is primarily associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home offered only 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is an alarmingly low total. To pair with its low total nursing hours per patient, this facility had really poor marks in several of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining falls which led to major injury. This facility was at more than 150 percent of the national average in this statistic.
