Facility Inspections
Although we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it earned a very impressive government inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our more favorable scores in that area with a B. Inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid places with a bunch of deficiencies flagged. This nursing home was assessed 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
We were also stunned to find that this facility earned a reasonably solid long-term care rating in our assessment. We gave it a B- in this category. Our long-term care grade is often used to gauge a facility's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services offered by a skilled nursing facility. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.42 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home's next best score is short-term care. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this area, it still fared relatively poorly. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 44.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
Nurse Quality
The last category we analyzed was nursing, ended up being this nursing home's worst category. We gave this facility a D in this category. We assessed the licensure of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses spent with residents, in computing our rating in this category. With just 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were well below average. Finally, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility was above average in two of the major statistics we considered, with solid marks for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are often good measures of the quality of nursing care provided.
