Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a C for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. This place had 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the area of short-term care, this nursing home received a grade of just D in that area. As it turns out, this wound up being one of its better features. Our short-term care grade is often employed to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. 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 considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 43.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second lowest category is long-term care, where it earned just a D in that area. This is a relatively poor grade. For long-term care residents, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 99.71831 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. While it had 2.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic wasn't bad due to it having more complex patients.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's worst area is nursing, which is the last category we scored. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D. The nursing grade includes many data points. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. With just 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily, this place's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this nursing home also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these statistics hurt this nursing home's nursing grade quite a bit.
