Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Long-term Care Quality
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it earned a better long-term care grade this year. We gave it a C in that category. Our long-term care grades are more critical for patients in need of more conventional assistance associated with activities of daily living. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 98.09524 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. This facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 1.12 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a much lower hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its short-term care grade, which turns out to be one of its more favorable category scores. In our short-term care assessment, we strive to create a sound gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Considering its score in this category, we were not stunned to find that this place was well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we looked at. The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
We were stunned to find that this facility also excelled in the category of nursing. We awarded it a score of D for that category, which is one of our highest scores. There are quite a few criteria within this grade. Many of the subcategories are tied to the quantity of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is slightly below the national average. To go along with its low total nursing hours per patient, this place had poor scores in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. For starters, we looked at the percentage of residents experiencing falls which led to serious injury. This facility was at more than 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
Facility Inspections
Moving on our last category of inspections, this facility received an abysmal grade. When a place has this bad of an inspection rating, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This nursing home had a category G through L deficiency, which are among the more severe categories of deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies identified by CMS had potential to pose actual harm to residents. Lastly, we also would like to point out that this place received significant government fines recently exceeding $50,000. This often signifies that inspectors became fed up after several years of failed government inspections.
