Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it an A+ for our inspections rating. This score is significantly more impressive than the nursing home's overall score. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even with this deficiency, this place still received a relatively favorable inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next highest area came in the area of long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. In the area of long-term care, we assess the amount of services provided by a facility, as opposed to more sophisticated services. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 99.354836 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, its hospitalization rate was less favorable. We found that this place had 2.55 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's next highest score is short-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this category, it still fared relatively poorly. In our short-term care category, we attempt to craft a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. We found that this facility was subpar in several staffing metrics we assessed. It supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the number of residents that were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The next category we scored was nursing. This facility was given a very poor grade of F in that area. When calculating a facility's nursing score, we look at the amount of time nurses spend with patients as well as the level of skill of those nurses. This facility provided just 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These metrics hurt this facility's nursing rating significantly.
