Long-term Care Quality
Although this facility's overall grade was abysmal, it didn't perform quite as poorly in the area of long-term care. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which isn't bad. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough to spare its otherwise weak profile. Our long-term care grade is commonly used to score a facility's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 99.06323 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.17 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home really excelled in our nursing category, where it earned an C. Few facilities performed better in this category. Nursing scores are largely tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be accurate indicators of quality of nursing care.
Facility Inspections
Sadly, this facility received a grade of just D in our inspection category. This is well below average grade. One of the most critical factors in assessing inspection reports is deficiencies. We recommend you scrutinize the level of severity of those deficiencies. It does not look like we were able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Lastly, we would like to point out that this nursing home received significant government fines recently of over $100,000. This generally signifies that a nursing home's poor performance has been an issue for several years.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at is short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this category, which is an abysmal score. In determining our short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to formulate a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 27.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
