Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our best scores. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given its next most favorable category score in the area of short-term care. We awarded this facility a B- in this category, which is an acceptable grade. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from this nursing home and discovered this was this facility's strongest datapoint within this area. It fared well in this metric with 65 percent of its patients returning home. Most nursing homes are below 50 percent in this statistic.
Nurse Quality
We were stunned to find that this nursing home also excelled in nursing. In fact, we gave it a score of D for that category, which is one of our best grades. The nursing grade includes several factors. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is slightly below the national average. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these statistics pulled down this facility's nursing rating quite a bit.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the fourth area, this nursing home did not perform very well here either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in long-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this facility vaccinated only 71.10482 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was not as bad as we expected at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Although it had 2.27 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric wasn't bad since it had more complex patients.
