Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Long-term Care Quality
Although we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a better long-term care rating this year. We gave it a C in that category. Our long-term care ratings are important for residents in need of non-healthcare services such as personal care. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinated 99.50495 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this place had 4.61 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. While this figure is quite a bit higher than the national average, this number may be skewed for some facilities based on the medical complexity of patients.
Nurse Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating and that actually turned out to be its second highest score. Nursing grades are largely associated with a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is slightly below average. In addition to receiving below average marks for nursing hours, this nursing home was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and found that this nursing home was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this statistic. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that so many pressure ulcers are preventable with better nursing care. This statistic pulled down this nursing home's nursing rating substantially.
Facility Inspections
We wanted to draw your attention to this facility's inspection grade where it received a lowly F. This generally means we found red flags on the government inspection reports. For facilities that received this poor of an inspection rating, we would scrutinize any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they caused a risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the last category, this nursing home did not perform very well here either. With an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is really as terrible as it gets. Our short-term care scores are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 23.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
