Facility Inspections
This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent inspections in recent years. We gave them an A+ in this category. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was awarded an impressive long-term care grade. Indeed, we gave them a B+ in that area, which is one of our more favorable scores. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 93.333336 percent of its residents. This is a few points less than we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.47 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of D. In determining our nursing grades, we weigh both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This facility provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is below the national average. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this facility also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This place had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our last area, we awarded this facility a D in the area of short-term care. This was the facility's weakest category grade. Of course, this grade pulled down the nursing home's overall profile to a certain degree. Our short-term care ratings are vital for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 35.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
