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 would argue that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 8 deficiencies on its inspection report. Another area of concern is that CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
Long-term Care Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to this nursing home's poor long-term care grade where it received an F. Facilities that don't score well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 93.14079 percent of its patients against pneumonia. We were stunned with its hospitalization rate. We found that this place had 4.22 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is more than twice the national average. This is definitely an alarming statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
Our third area we looked at is short-term care, in which this facility was given an F. In our short-term care grade, we try to forge a sound gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 38.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
The final area we looked at was nursing. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this area, which is a poor grade. There are a variety of criteria included in this category. Many of the factors relate to staffing levels. With a meager 3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were far below average. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These scores hurt this facility's nursing rating quite a bit.
