Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we gave it an A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid facilities with a bunch of severe deficiencies flagged. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. The lack of deficiencies is this nursing home's greatest strength.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility's next most favorable score is long-term care. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this area, it still performed relatively badly. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 98.19004 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this place had 2.3 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure is not nearly as favorable than its vaccination record.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. Nursing scores are tied to quantity of nursing care available. This facility provided just 2.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. This facility also had abysmal scores in some of the quality-based measures to pair with its weak nursing hour totals. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and we were quite disappointed. This facility was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this metric.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was short-term care. We gave it an F for this category, which is a very poor grade. With our short-term care assessment, we try to forge a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. With a grade this poor in this category, we weren't surprised to find this nursing home was below average in many staffing metrics we assess. The facility offered significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 29.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
