Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this nursing home's overall grade, it received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with an A. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid places that have a long list of deficiencies. This facility received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was given its next highest category score in the category of long-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of B- in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable score. In determining our long-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 96.70659 percent of its patients. This facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.31 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the area of short-term care, this facility was awarded just a D in this area. Short-term care grades are crucial for residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional skilled nursing. This means a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms 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. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
Nurse Quality
The final category we scored is nursing, is this nursing home's worst area. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in this category. Our nursing score considers many data points. The most important factor is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This facility provided 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home was above average in two of the major data points we considered, with solid marks for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These data points are usually reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care offered.
