Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Nurse Quality
Although we gave this facility a very poor overall grade, we awarded it a B in nursing. There are a variety of subcategories included in this grade. Many of these criteria reflect levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these datapoints as reliable indicators of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also pleasantly surprised to find that this nursing home received a solid short-term care score in our assessment. We awarded it a C in this category. Our short-term care grades are likely more important for residents needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is still important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that returned home from the facility. We found that just 29.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we gave this nursing home an F in the category of long-term care. Facilities that do not score well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We found that this nursing home gave the vaccine to just 83.65759 percent of its patients, which is somewhat alarming. Unfortunately, this place's hospitalization rate was also disappointing. We found that this nursing home had 2.08 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an alarming rate.
Facility Inspections
The last category we assessed was inspections. This nursing home did not receive favorable government inspections in recent years. In fact, we had to give it an F in this category. We would advise paying special attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection grade. We suggest you pay close attention to the level of severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 10 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
