Facility Inspections
Although we were not complementary of this nursing home's overall performance, it actually received an impressive inspection report this year with few dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that area with a grade of B+. Inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid facilities with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even with this deficiency, this place still had a relatively favorable report.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility was given its second highest category score in the area of short-term care. We gave this facility a C in this area, which is an acceptable score. In computing our short-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who eventually returned home from this facility. We found that it performed respectably in this metric with 45.2 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the area of long-term care, this nursing home received a grade of just D in that category. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. This nursing home's vaccination records were a bit weaker than some of the other statistics in this area, such as its nursing hours. It provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 87.254906 percent of its patients. We would love to see some improvement herein this statistic next year. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.71 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
Nurse Quality
The final area we rated was nursing, which turned out to be this nursing home's weakest area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this area. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with quantity of nursing care available. Quantity of nursing care does not appear to be the problem here. Based on the data, it looks like this place provides an above average 4.1 hours per patient per day. This is more nursing care than most places provide. Despite performing well in terms of nursing hours, this facility did not fare as well in the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This place was above the national average in both of these statistics. This is not a good sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these data points dragged down this facility's nursing rating quite a bit.
