Facility Inspections
To go along with its favorable overall score, we gave this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. 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 fared well in the area of long-term care. In fact, we gave it a score of A for that area, which is one of our highest grades. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are well cared for. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 41.7154 percent of its patients. This is a bit less than we anticipated but still a decent percentage. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. We found that this nursing home had 2.57 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. Our nursing score is based on a handful of subcategories, but the main one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides only 2.9 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a somewhat discouraging figure as it is well below the national average. Lastly, we look at quality-based statistics, such as the percent of patients who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. These statistics are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we scored was short-term care, is this nursing home's least impressive area. We awarded this facility a D in that area. This really is one of just a few dings in an otherwise strong report card. In forming these short-term care scores, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to formulate a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. In this facility's case, it looks like it offers less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical facility. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 42 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
