Short-term Care Quality
Even though we gave this nursing home an abysmal overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B for short-term care. In computing our short-term care grades, we scrutinize the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This category is more often than not a fair measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. This nursing home boosted its score in this category by offering more than 50% more physical therapy hours to its residents than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that it performed better than most facilities in the nation with 53.7 percent of its patients able to return home.
Nurse Quality
We were also surprised to find that this facility received a decent nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of C in that category. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. Based on the data, it looks like this facility provides an impressive 4.6 hours per resident per day. This is more nursing care than most places provide. In calculating our grades, we apply more weight to hours performed by more highly trained nurses such as registered or licensed nurses. While this nursing home excelled in terms of quantity of nursing hours, it fell short in certain datapoints that focused on quality. This facility's nursing rating was hurt by its weak performance in the area of minimizing pressure ulcers. We found that 16.2 percent of this nursing home's residents sustained pressure ulcers.
Facility Inspections
This facility received very weak government inspection reports in recent years, causing them to receive an F in our inspection category. An F in this category is generally a sign that we found some red flags on the nursing home's government inspection reports. You should pay close attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection rating. We would pay close attention to the level of severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 23 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at is long-term care. This nursing home received a rock bottom grade of F in this area. Long-term care grades in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. This facility's vaccination statistics weren't as strong as its nursing hours. This facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 83.823524 percent of its patients. We'd like to see some improvement in this area in the future. To our surprise, this place was not as bad as we expected at keeping its residents out of the hospital. While it had 1.94 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was not bad since it had some more complicated patients.
