Facility Inspections
Although we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it actually received a relatively impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our better scores in that area with a B+. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid places with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next highest category was short-term care, but it still earned just a D in that category. This turns out to be a well below average grade. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To provide highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last area we considered in this category is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the facility. We found that it fared better in this area, with 53.7 percent of its patients returning home. This was just about this nursing home's only redeeming quality in this category.
Long-term Care Quality
In our next category, we gave this facility a rock-bottom F in the area of long-term care. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.34853 percent of its patients, which is a very solid figure. To our surprise, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had just 1.38 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
The next category we rated was nursing. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this area, which is a rock bottom grade. When determining our nursing scores, we factor in both nursing hours and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility averaged only 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is well below average. This facility also had terrible marks in some of the quality-based measures to go along with its weak nursing hours. We looked at the percentage of patients suffering pressure ulcers and we were quite disappointed. This place was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this measure.
