Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Nurse Quality
Even though this facility's overall score was terrible, it actually didn't perform as poorly in nursing. We awarded it a B- for that area. In computing our nursing scores, we assess both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these metrics. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared well in this metric.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also stunned to discover that this facility received a reasonably solid short-term care grade this year. We awarded it a grade of B- in this area. In computing our short-term care ratings, we assess a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This category is typically a useful measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This was a much stronger area for this facility. This place outperformed most facilities in this area with 66.9 percent of its residents returning home. This really helped its score in this category.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home wound up receiving a a very poor grade in our long-term care category. It was given an F in this category. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 98.63637 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.87 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
Facility Inspections
The final category we assessed is inspections. This nursing home did not receive favorable inspections in recent years. As a result, we had to give it an F here. For facilities with bad inspection scores, you should scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This particular facility was assessed one category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more severe categories of deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies uncovered by CMS had potential to cause actual harm to residents. Another area of concern is that CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
