Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite minor. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also didn't rate poorly in the category of long-term care. Indeed, we gave it a grade of C in that area, which wound up being another one of its better grades. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 93.16547 percent of its residents. This is somewhat below what we were hoping for but still a respectable percentage. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. With 1.76 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home is also slightly below average.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. With only 3.2 hours of nursing care per patient daily, this place's nurse staffing levels were far below the national average. On top of its subpar nursing hour totals, this nursing home earned suboptimal scores in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We found that more of this nursing home's residents sustained falls leading to serious injury.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we graded was short-term care, which ended up being this facility's worst category. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in this area. Our short-term care scores are likely more critical for patients needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. With its grade in this category, we were not stunned to find that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 46.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these relatively poor statistics sunk this facility's short-term care grade.
