Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that area, which is one of our highest scores. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid places that had too many deficiencies. This place was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the category of long-term care, this facility received a grade of just D in that area. Sadly, this proved to be one of its better grades. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinated 99.77324 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 2.16 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure is not nearly as favorable than its vaccination record.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. The nursing grade considers a number of factors. The most heavily weighted variable is the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents. This nursing home averages 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below the national average. This place also had abysmal marks in some of the quality-based measures to go along with its low nursing hours. We looked at the percent of residents suffering pressure ulcers and we were disappointed. This facility was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this measure.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we rated was short-term care, turned out to be this nursing home's least impressive area. We gave this nursing home a D in that area. Our short-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Based on its score in this category, we were not surprised to find that this place was subpar in terms of its quantity of registered nurse hours offered to its patients. Frankly, this was about what we expected here. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 22.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
