Facility Inspections
Although we graded this place incredibly poorly overall, it received a relatively impressive government inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our better grades in that area with a B+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. While this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility received an F for its short-term care grade. Short-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. With a grade in this range for this category, we were not shocked to learn this place was well below average in multiple staffing figures we focus on. It provided substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 43.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
In our next category, we gave this nursing home a rock-bottom F in the area of long-term care. Long-term care scores in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. One of the factors we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 93.41564 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.34 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best feature in this category.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to our final area, this nursing home really didn't fare well in this area either. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in nursing, this is just about as bad as it gets. Our nursing grade is primarily tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular place offered just 2.9 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is well below the national average. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These statistics hurt this nursing home's nursing grade significantly.
