Facility Inspections
Neither this facility's overall grade nor its category grades gave us much to write home about. This place's best category was inspections, but even there it received a D. This is still a very poor score. Inspection grades weigh many items on the nursing home's inspection reports. When you see severe deficiencies on the reports, this is typically the worst sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This facility was hit with one category G through L deficiency, which are among the more serious deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies uncovered by the government inspectors had the potential to pose actual harm to patients. Finally, this facility also received 19 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its long-term care grade. For patients in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. We found that this place fared much worse with 2.88 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this statistic is nearly twice the national average.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility ended up receiving a rock-bottom score in our short-term care area. It received an F in this category. Short-term care grades are commonly used to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services To provide highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. Based on its weak grade in this area, we were not stunned to learn this nursing home provides substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 22.7 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below average.
Nurse Quality
The final category we graded was nursing. This nursing home received an abysmal grade of F in that category. Our nursing rating consists of many data points, but the main one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility offered only 2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an alarmingly low total. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this nursing home also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These scores pulled down this nursing home's nursing rating significantly.
