Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it actually earned an impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that area with an A-. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid places that have a long list of deficiencies. While this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means the government inspectors did not consider 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 necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second best category was short-term care, but even there it received a grade of just D in that category. This still happens to be a relatively poor score. Our short-term care grade is generally used to gauge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Based on its score in this area, we weren't surprised to learn that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the data we looked at. Honestly, this was what we expected to find. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. Nursing grades are based in large part on quantity of nursing care available. This facility averaged just 2.5 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is quite a bit below average. Finally, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home was above average in two of the statistics we focus on, with solid scores for avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at was long-term care, in which this facility received a very poor score in this area also. It received a lowly F in this category, which is definitely a major disappointment. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 91.26214 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.06 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
