Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong nursing grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ in that category, which is one of our better scores. We looked at the licensure of nurses employed by the facility, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses were with residents, in calculating our rating in this category. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home Puerto Rico in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of moving residents more often.
Facility Inspections
The last category we assessed is inspections. This facility did not receive favorable government inspection reports in recent years. We gave it an F in this category. This ended up pulling down this facility's overall score significantly. For nursing homes with bad inspection ratings, you should scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This particular facility had 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a threat to resident safety or health. Lastly, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this place received large government fines recently of more than $100,000. This typically indicates that a nursing home's poor track record has been an issue for several years.
