Facility Inspections
While we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it received a relatively impressive government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our better scores in that area with a grade of B. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Despite this deficiency, this place still received a relatively positive report.
Short-term Care Quality
Surprisingly, we awarded this facility a grade of C for our short-term care grade, which really isn't a bad grade. Our short-term care scores are crucial for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing. This includes a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. This place was above average in this area with 53.9 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Tragically, this facility received an F for its long-term care grade. Nursing homes that don't score well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. Unfortunately, this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 62.5 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.8 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
Nurse Quality
The final category we graded was nursing. This nursing home received a poor grade of F in that category. There are a variety of subcategories included in this grade. Many of the factors reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This place offered only 2.5 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This place had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home.
