Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection grades are tied to many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given its next best category grade in the category of long-term care. We gave this facility a grade of B- in this area, which is a respectable grade. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility vaccinated 96.65653 percent of its residents, which is an above average percentage. Unfortunately, this place's hospitalization rate was less favorable. Here we found that this place had 2.5 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. The nursing grade weighs quite a few components, but the most important one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided just 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. On top of receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this nursing home was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and found that this nursing home was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our final area, this nursing home really didn't perform very well in this category either. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as terrible as it gets. In computing our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to devise a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Given its score in this area, we weren't surprised to discover that this facility is well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the measures we looked at. The final item we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 33.6 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below the national average.
