Facility Inspections
While we gave this place a poor overall score, we gave it a B for our inspections rating. This is the result of the facility receiving a decent inspection report this year. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also didn't perform too badly in the category of long-term care. Indeed, we awarded it a grade of C in that category, which happens to be another one of its higher grades. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 97.84017 percent of its residents. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. While it had 1.73 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was better than the majority of nursing homes since it had more complicated patients.
Nurse Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. There are a number of datapoints within this grade. Most of these criteria reflect staffing levels. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is slightly below average. This facility also had abysmal marks in some of the quality-based measures to go along with its weak nursing hours. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and we were quite disappointed. This nursing home was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we scored was short-term care, is this nursing home's weakest area. We awarded this facility a D in that category. In calculating our short-term care grades, we scrutinize the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This category is frequently a meaningful assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation. With a grade of this caliber for this area, we were not shocked to learn this place was below average in two of the key staffing figures we looked at. The facility provided substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 43.5 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
