Nurse Quality
Although we didn't give this nursing home a good overall score, we actually gave it a strong grade in nursing, where it earned a B+. This is better than most facilities in this area. Our nursing rating includes quite a few subcategories, most of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a decent grade in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This category is frequently a useful measure of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. The final metric we considered in this area is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 40.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home did not receive favorable inspection reports in recent years. In fact, it only received a grade of D for its inspection grade. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. Generally, you should be especially cautious when considering a facility that has severe deficiencies on its inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 25 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at was long-term care. This facility received an abysmal grade of F in that area. Long-term care ratings in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were concerned by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated only 83.333336 percent of its residents against pneumonia. We were stunned with its hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 5.63 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is more than double the national average. This is certainly an alarming figure.
