Facility Inspections
We simply could not find anything favorable to say about this place. It received a grade of just D in the category of inspections. Sadly, this ended up being its best score. Our inspection ratings factor in many items on the facility's inspection reports. When you see too many deficiencies on the inspection reports, this is typically the worst sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This facility was hit with one category J through K deficiency, which are among the worst categories of deficiencies. This generally means that inspectors found a deficiency which puts patient safety or health in immediate jeopardy. Finally, this facility also received 10 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Among this facility's litany of terrible scores was its F in the category of short-term care. In the area of short-term care, we seek to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The third category we assessed is long-term care, in which this facility was given an F. For prospective patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. Once we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 99.45652 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
The next area we rated is nursing. This nursing home received a poor grade of F in this area. We weighed the levels of nurses working for the nursing home, in addition to the number of hours those nurses spent with patients, in computing our grade in this category. This nursing home provides 2.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. This nursing home also had abysmal scores in several of the quality-based metrics to pair with its low nursing hours. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers. This nursing home was at more than double the national average in this statistic. This is quite concerning when you consider that many bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the facility's fate of earning a very poor nursing rating.
