Facility Inspections
This facility earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless health inspection reports in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also received a favorable grade in our long-term care category. We gave this facility a better than average grade of B+ in that category. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are well cared for. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 98.68709 percent of its residents, which is more than most nursing homes. The last statistic we looked at was the nursing home's hospitalization rate. While it had 2.11 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was close to the middle of the pack since it had some more complicated patients.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility's third highest category was short-term care. However, with a D in this area, it still fared relatively poorly. In calculating our short-term care grades, we size up a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This area is frequently a solid measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation. Given its poor grade, we were not shocked to find that this nursing home provided substantially fewer registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area, with just 41.1 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
Nurse Quality
The final category we analyzed was nursing, which is this facility's worst area. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this category, which is certainly very concerning. When computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are caring for residents as well as the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is slightly below the national average. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this place also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This place had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home.
