Facility Inspections
Sadly, we gave this place some extremely bad grades. Among them were its F for its inspection grade. This is an especially important category. Scores in this range often point to some red flags on the facility's government inspection reports. For nursing homes that received this bad of an inspection grade, we would scrutinize any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This nursing home was hit with 8 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, we also want to draw your attention to the fact that this place received significant government fines recently of over $50,000. This usually means that government inspectors became frustrated after multiple years of bad inspections.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. This turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of F. The nursing score is based on many components, however, the primary one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This place averaged a meager 3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this facility also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, we gave this facility an F for its long-term care score. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 93.25153 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be somewhat lower than we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable figure. To our surprise, this place was not as bad as we expected at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Although it had 1.86 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic wasn't bad since it had more complicated patients.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to our last category, this nursing home did not fare well in this area either. With a rock bottom grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as terrible as it gets. Short-term care scores are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. With its score in this category, we were not surprised to discover that this facility was well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The last measure we assessed in this category is the number of residents that returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 26.9 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.
