Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Nurse Quality
Even though we graded this nursing home very poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable nursing score this year. We gave it a B- in that category. When computing our nursing grades, we weigh both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provided just 3.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a low total compared to most facilities. In addition to ranking poorly in terms of nursing hours offered, this facility also lagged behind in certain subcategories that are associated with quality of care. This facility's nursing score was hurt by poor performance in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers. In fact, we found that 17.2 percent of this facility's patients suffered from pressure ulcers. This is more than double the average nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also didn't fare too badly in the area of short-term care. Indeed, we gave it a B- in that category, which happens to be among its more respectable scores. In our short-term care rating, we seek to forge a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home performed better in this statistic. We found that it performed better than most facilities in this metric with 54.1 percent of its residents returning home. With most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also didn't perform too badly in the area of long-term care. In fact, we gave it a grade of B- in that category, which ended up being another one of its better scores. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 93.81443 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be a few points less than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Unfortunately, this place's hospitalization rate was worse than we hoped. Here we found that this nursing home had 2.47 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. While this figure is somewhat concerning, this statistic can be skewed for some nursing homes due to the medical complexity of residents
Facility Inspections
Moving on our final category of inspections, this nursing home received an abysmal grade. For nursing homes with poor inspection grades, you should really scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a risk to patient health or safety. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
