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 C. Our inspection grades weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were category G through L deficiencies. This indicates this facility dodged the more ominous categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received some government fines in recent years.
Short-term Care Quality
In our next category, we gave this nursing home a rock-bottom F in the area of short-term care. Our short-term care grades are believed to be more meaningful for individuals requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. 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 percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 38.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, we gave this facility an F for its long-term care score. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category likely don't provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities provide. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 91.54519 percent of its patients. This is somewhat less than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at limiting hospitalizations. Although it had 1.88 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic wasn't as bad since it had more complicated patients. This was its best feature in this category
Nurse Quality
The next category we assessed is nursing. This facility received a poor grade of F in this area. Nursing grades are tied to quantity of nursing care available. This place averaged a meager 3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is an alarmingly low total. To go along with its below average totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this place had bad marks in several of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. For starters, we looked at the percent of patients having falls which led to serious injury. This place was at more than 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
