Long-term Care Quality
Although we graded this facility extremely poorly overall, it earned a more respectable long-term care rating this year. We gave it a B- in that area, which was the closest thing to a bright spot we could find for this facility. Long-term care grades are crucial for individuals in need of personal care. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 87.18663 percent of its residents. This is pretty significantly less than the national average. Unfortunately, its hospitalization rate was worse than we hoped. Here we found that this nursing home had 2.07 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. While this figure is somewhat concerning, this number may be skewed for some nursing homes due to the medical complexity of patients.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a grade of just D in the area of inspections. Unfortunately, this ended up being its second best grade. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This particular facility had a deficiency on its inspection report. We were relieved to find that it wasn't in a category that suggests that it created a risk to resident health or safety. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
Nurse Quality
We were stunned to find that this facility also excelled in the area of nursing. In fact, we awarded it an impressive grade of D for that category, which is one of our best grades. There are quite a few datapoints within this area. Most of the criteria are tied to staffing levels. This facility offered just 3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we rated is short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this category, which is a rock bottom grade. In calculating our short-term care scores, we look at the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This score is generally a reliable assessment of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. As you might expect, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. The final item we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 44 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below average.
