Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Nurse Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall score, we awarded it a B- for our nursing category. There are numerous subcategories within this category. Many of these factors are tied to staffing levels. This place provided just 0 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a relatively low total compared with most facilities. Lastly, nursing ratings also factor in quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses to assist its patients.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also didn't fare too badly in the category of short-term care. Indeed, we awarded it a B- for that category, which turned out to be another one of its better scores. In determining our short-term care grades, we analyze a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This score is frequently a reliable measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This was a much stronger area for this facility. It outperformed most nursing homes in this area with 68.5 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's second lowest score is long-term care, where it earned a grade of just D in that category. This is a well below average score. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We found that this facility provided the vaccine to just 81.39535 percent of its patients, which is several points lower than we expected. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best feature in this category.
Facility Inspections
Looking to our last category of inspections, we gave this facility a just D, which is a relatively poor grade. Our inspection score is based on the nursing home's government inspections. Since this information is compiled by independent government inspectors, we place a great deal of weight on it in our overall grades. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. We would scrutinize the level of severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they caused a threat to patient safety or health. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
