Facility Inspections
While this place's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a C for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were in any of the categories labeled J through L. This means the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to place resident safety or health in imminent harm or jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Long-term Care Quality
Incredibly, we gave this nursing home a C for its long-term care grade, which really isn't too bad of a score. For long-term care residents, the primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. We were a bit worried that this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to only 75.6579 percent of its residents. Nevertheless, this place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.29 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a substantially better hospitalization rate than the majority of nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
We were also surprised to find that this facility received a decent nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of C in that category. When computing our nursing scores, we assess both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This facility provided just 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, while this facility didn't rank highly in terms of nursing hours per resident, it fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In terms of the percentage of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, this nursing home fared better than average.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at was short-term care, which ended up being a weak link for this facility. We awarded this facility a D in the area of short-term care. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 39.8 percent of its residents returning home.
