Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Nurse Quality
Even though we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a C for our nursing category. Our nursing score is primarily associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 2.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a somewhat discouraging figure as it is well below average. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.
Facility Inspections
This facility earned a grade of just D in the area of inspections. Sadly, this ended up being its second best grade. Inspection grades account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular facility had 8 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
Short-term Care Quality
Another issue is the F this facility received in the category of short-term care. In computing our short-term care ratings, we look at a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This score is more often than not a meaningful assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. Given its score in this area, we weren't surprised to find that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the data we looked at. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 23.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics doomed this nursing home's short-term care grade.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we graded was long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is an abysmal score. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 92.13483 percent of its residents. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. We found that this facility fared poorly with 3.21 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure is nearly double the national average.
