Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Nurse Quality
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in nursing. We gave it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. When computing our nursing scores, we look at both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. This place provides an impressive 4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Of this total, nearly one quarter of the hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly skilled levels of nurses. Lastly, this nursing home also excelled in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility in the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as having a system of moving residents even once per day.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable area ended up being short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a B-. Short-term care ratings are critical for people looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 37.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of residents are able to return home so this facility is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a solid score in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. For prospective patients seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. This nursing home's vaccination records lagged a bit behind a few of the other statistics in this category, such as its nursing hours data. It provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 76.68394 percent of its residents. We'd like to see some improvement in this area in the future. The last statistic we looked at is the facility's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this place had a relatively high 3.32 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Neither its vaccination record nor its hospitalization rate were strengths for this facility in this area.
Facility Inspections
The last category we assessed is inspections. This nursing home did not receive favorable government inspection reports in recent years. We gave it an F in this category. This dragged down this facility's overall grade quite a bit. For facilities that received this poor of an inspection grade, we would scrutinize the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility also received 36 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
