Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we gave it an A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's second best category was short-term care. As it turns out, with a grade of D in this area, it still fared somewhat poorly. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was subpar in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the data we looked at. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 48.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics sunk this nursing home's short-term care score.
Nurse Quality
This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. Our nursing grade is based on several datapoints. The most important variable is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. This particular facility averaged just 3.2 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This figure is well below average. This nursing home also had terrible scores in some of the quality-based metrics to go along with its low nursing hours. For starters, we looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers. This facility was at more than twice the national average in this metric.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our fourth category, this facility didn't perform well here either. Due to a poor grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as terrible as it gets. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in long-term care it is a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the place is not as well-staffed. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. We were concerned by the fact that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 40.540543 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was not as bad as we expected at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Although it had 2.05 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was not bad due to it having some more complicated patients.
