Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best scores in this category with an A+. Our inspection scores are tied to several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This place was assessed 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, we awarded it a top-shelf long-term care score. In fact, we awarded this facility a score of A-. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. Once we assessed the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly can be a dangerous condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this facility had 2.6 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
The third area we assessed was short-term care. This nursing home's received a rock-bottom short-term care score where it received a lowly F. In the area of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. As you might expect, we found that this facility offers substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 40.9 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below the national average.
Nurse Quality
The last area we graded was nursing, which is this nursing home's worst area. It received an abysmal F in this category, which is certainly very disappointing. Nursing ratings are primarily tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This place averaged only 2.9 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is not a very impressive figure. On top of being below average in nursing hours per resident, this facility also had poor scores in the quality-based metrics we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home was at about 150 percent of the national average in both of these statistics. This is a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These scores helped pull down this nursing home's nursing grade quite a bit.
