Facility Inspections
Although we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it actually earned a relatively impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our better scores in that category with a B. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite insignificant. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. The lack of deficiencies proved to be this nursing home's best achievement.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility wound up receiving a bottom of the barrel score in our short-term care area. It received a lowly F in this category. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for people in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Considering its grade in this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this facility is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. Frankly, this was what we expected to find. The final measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 34.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics doomed this nursing home's short-term care score.
Long-term Care Quality
Another concern is the F this facility received in the area of long-term care. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means the nursing home didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to resident care. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 93.88753 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.64 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
Nurse Quality
The final area we scored was nursing. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is a rock bottom score. The nursing score considers a host of subcategories. The most heavily weighted factor is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home had really bad scores in many of the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. For starters, we looked at the percentage of residents having falls leading to serious injury. This nursing home was at more than 150 percent of the national average in this statistic. This is quite concerning in light of the fact that so many falls could likely be prevented with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the nursing home's fate of earning a poor nursing rating.
