Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this facility overall, we awarded it an A+ for our inspections rating. This score is significantly more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
As it turns out, this facility only earned a D for its short-term care rating, which ended up being one of its better category scores. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Based on its abysmal score in this area, we were not stunned to learn this nursing home provides substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. The last area we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who returned home from the nursing home. It performed better in this area, with 51.2 percent of its residents returning home. This was just about this nursing home's only redeeming quality in this area.
Nurse Quality
In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. The nursing score consists of quite a few factors, but the most important one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below average. Unfortunately, this facility also had abysmal scores in some of the quality-based measures to go along with its weak nursing hour totals. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and we were disappointed. This nursing home was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this metric.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we graded was long-term care. We gave it a lowly F in this category, which is a poor grade. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 54.744526 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
