Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid facilities with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
We also wanted to point out this nursing home's rock-bottom long-term care grade where it was given an F. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 96.30682 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.67 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. When computing our nursing grades, we factor in both staffing levels and the training levels of the nurses. This facility offered just 2.7 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This number is quite a bit below average. This place also had terrible marks in some of the quality-based metrics to pair with its weak nursing hours. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and we were quite disappointed. This place was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our next area, this facility really did not perform well here either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as terrible as it gets. In calculating our short-term care scores, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to formulate a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Considering its grade in this area, we weren't surprised to learn that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 22 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
