Facility Inspections
While this place's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually performed pretty well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B for that area, which is one of our better scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively minor. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's second best category was long-term care. However, with a D in this category, it still performed relatively badly. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 2.07 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure is not nearly as favorable than its vaccination record.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. The nursing grade includes a number of subcategories. The most important factor is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This facility provided just 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed was short-term care. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this area, which is an abysmal score. Our short-term care grades are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we learned that this facility provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 27.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
