Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Nurse Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B for our nursing rating. The nursing grade weighs many components, however, the most important one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provided 2.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place excelled in these areas, with excellent scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a facility provides.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also pleasantly surprised to find that this nursing home received a reasonably solid short-term care rating this year. We awarded it a C in that category. In crafting our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to formulate a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This proved to be more of a strength for this facility. In fact, we found that it outperformed the majority of facilities with 54.6 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
This facility's awful overall grade can't really be attributed to its inspections. We awarded it a C for this category. Inspection ratings are based on many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This place had 7 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This means that this facility avoided the more ominous categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received some government fines in recent years.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we rated was long-term care. It received an F in this category, which is an abysmal grade. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinates 94.977165 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Unfortunately, this nursing home's hospitalization rate was far less impressive. We found that this place had 2.53 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an alarming rate.
