Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Long-term Care Quality
Although we did not rate this facility well overall, we want to point out its decent grade of B- in the category of long-term care. In crafting our long-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's personal care services. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 98.93843 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. The last statistic we looked at is the facility's hospitalization rate. We found that this place had 3.48 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this figure is quite a bit higher than the national average, this statistic may be skewed for some facilities based on the preexisting medical conditions of residents.
Facility Inspections
We actually gave this facility a very solid grade in the area of inspections as well. In fact, we awarded it a B- in this category. This is better than many nursing homes in this category. We believe that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 5 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.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we graded was short-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a grade of C in this area. In determining our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. We found that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. The facility supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. It is still important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The last statistic we considered in this category is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. It fared respectably with 45.4 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
This facility's weakest category was nursing, which is the last area we assessed. In this area, we gave this facility a grade of D. Our nursing rating analyzes the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of training of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home averages 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below the national average. On top of rating below average in nursing hours per resident, this nursing home also had poor scores in the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility was at about 1.5 times the national average in both of these metrics. This is a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. These scores helped pull down this nursing home's nursing rating significantly.
