Long-term Care Quality
While this nursing home's overall grade was abysmal, it didn't perform quite as poorly in the area of long-term care. In fact, we gave it a C for that category, which isn't bad. Unfortunately, this was not enough to salvage its otherwise poor profile. Our long-term care grade is used to gauge a facility's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services provided by a rehabilitation facility. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to only 61.068703 percent of its patients. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.43 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
Facility Inspections
This facility earned a grade of just D in the area of inspections. Sadly, this was its second best grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. We suggest you pay close attention to the severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a threat to resident safety or health. Lastly, we need to point out that this nursing home received significant government fines exceeding $50,000. This often signifies that government inspectors became fed up after multiple years of bad government inspections.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second least favorable category is short-term care, where it earned just a D in that category. This is a well below average grade. In computing our short-term care grades, we size up a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This score is more often than not a reliable measure of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Considering its grade in this category, we were not stunned to find that this facility is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the figures we looked at. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 43.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
The final category we scored is nursing, in which this facility was given a bottom of the barrel score in this category as well. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this area, which is definitely somewhat alarming. When calculating a facility's nursing score, we consider the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents and the level of licensure of those nurses. This particular nursing home provided 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below average. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this nursing home 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 sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. These metrics hurt this facility's nursing rating quite a bit.
