Facility Inspections
While we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it actually earned a very impressive government inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our better grades in that category with a grade of B+. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this facility's next best category is short-term care. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this category, it still fared somewhat poorly. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. With a grade this poor in this area, we were not shocked to discover that this place was below average in several staffing areas we looked at. It supplied substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. Finally, we considered the number of residents that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 44.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. We analyzed the skill-level of nurses employed by the facility, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses spent with residents, in computing our score in this category. This facility provided a meager 2.8 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is well below average. Unfortunately, this nursing home also had abysmal marks in some of the quality-based metrics to go along with its low nursing hours. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and we were very disappointed. This place was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we graded was long-term care, where this facility was given a rock bottom score in this category also. We gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is definitely a major disappointment. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.26 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
