Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a horrible overall grade, we gave it an A- for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. Our inspection scores account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid nursing homes with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you that CMS 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 are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the category of long-term care, this facility received a grade of just D in that category. As it turns out, this proved to be one of its better features. For prospective residents seeking a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 98.82353 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, this nursing home's hospitalization rate was not nearly as favorable. We found that this nursing home had 2.12 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a concerning rate.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Our nursing score includes many components, many of which are tied to nursing hours. With a meager 3.1 hours of nursing care per patient each day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below the national average. Finally, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place was above average in two of the major datapoints we considered, with solid scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we rated was short-term care. This nursing home received a poor grade of F in that category. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to assess a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to provide good rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Considering its grade in this area, we were not surprised to learn that this facility was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the data we looked at. Honestly, this was about what we expected here. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 44.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
