Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 6 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.
Nurse Quality
This facility really excelled in the category of nursing, where it received a grade of D. Our nursing rating is largely associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provided a meager 2.6 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is an alarmingly low total. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, we gave this facility an F for its long-term care grade. Facilities that don't fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated 85.97285 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be quite a bit lower than the national average. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed was short-term care. We gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is a rock bottom score. In the area of short-term care, we strive to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 31.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
