Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a grade of A for our inspections rating. This score is significantly more impressive than the nursing home's overall score. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid places with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. It doesn't look like we have deficiency counts for this nursing home. We wish we had more information about this facility. Without having access to complete deficiency related data, it was a challenge to fully assess the place in the area of inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the area of long-term care, this facility received just a D in that category. As it turns out, this ended up being one of its better features. Facilities that don't fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We found that this facility administered the vaccine to just 54.35436 percent of its patients, which is not a very encouraging sign. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.46 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the category of short-term care, this nursing home was awarded just a D in this area. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we look at a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This score is typically a meaningful measure of a facility's rehabilitation. Given its score in this category, we were not surprised to learn that this place was well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Honestly, this was what we expected here. The last area we assessed in this area is the number of residents who returned home from the facility. We found that it fared better in this area, with 54.1 percent of its patients returning home. This was just about this nursing home's only redeeming quality in this area.
Nurse Quality
The last category we assessed is nursing, in which this nursing home was given a rock bottom grade in this area as well. We gave it an F in this area, which is obviously a major concern. Our nursing grade is based on many subcategories, however, the paramount consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home averaged just 2.9 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are preventable with better nursing care. These metrics pulled down this facility's nursing rating significantly.
