Long-term Care Quality
This facility fared well in the area of long-term care, with an A+ in this category. This really propped up its overall score quite a bit. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 2.63 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Facility Inspections
This facility actually received a solid government inspection report this year as well, with few major dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it earned one of our better scores in that category with a score of B-. We were surprised this nursing home earned multiple category grades of this caliber. Inspection scores are based on several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing rating. We gave this nursing home an impressive grade of D. We looked at the levels of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses were with patients, in calculating our rating in this area. Quantity of nursing care does not appear to be the source of this facility's poor nursing grade. This place provides 4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is actually above average. In calculating our scores, we apply more weight to hours performed by more highly skilled nurses such as registered or licensed nurses. Despite being above average in terms of nursing hours, this facility had a few less favorable scores in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of patients having falls leading to major injury and found this nursing home to be above the national average in this statistic. This is not what we like to see here. We believe that many falls could likely be avoided with better nursing care. This statistic contributed to this nursing home receiving a poor nursing grade.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed is short-term care. It received a lowly F in this area, which is a poor grade. This is clearly a significant concern. Our short-term care scores are presumably more important for people requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types 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 number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 34.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
