Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this nursing home favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent score in the area of inspections, where it received an A-. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid facilities with too many severe deficiencies flagged. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home received its next most favorable category grade in the category of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in this category, which is a decent grade. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. Unfortunately, this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 90.8397 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. We found that this nursing home had 2.4 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Although this figure is quite a bit higher than the national average, this number may be skewed for some nursing homes based on the preexisting medical conditions of residents.
Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. There are a number of factors included in this grade. Most of these datapoints reflect levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is slightly below average. To pair with its low total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home had really bad marks in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents having falls which led to major injury. This nursing home was at more than 150 percent of the national average in this statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the fourth category, this nursing home really did not perform well in this area either. With a rock bottom grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as bad as it gets. In crafting these short-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Based on its score in this category, we were not surprised to discover that this facility is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the data we assessed. Honestly, this was what we expected here. The final metric we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 37.6 percent of its residents returning home.
