Facility Inspections
Although this nursing home's overall score was as bad as it gets, it performed pretty well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that area, which is one of our better scores. Inspection ratings account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid places with too many deficiencies flagged. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Unfortunately, this ended up being one of its better grades. Nursing grades are mostly based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This place averaged a meager 2.5 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Lastly, we also looked at a few quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This facility was above average in two of the areas we considered, with good scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
Another concern was the F this nursing home received in the category of short-term care. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. With its poor rating in this area, we weren't shocked to discover that this nursing home offers significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 42.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we rated was long-term care. This facility received a bottom of the barrel grade of F in this area. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means the facility did not perform well in our quality measures relating to resident care. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We discovered that this nursing home administered the vaccine to only 76.76056 percent of its residents, which is somewhat concerning. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.38 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
