Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to draw your attention to its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid nursing homes that had a long list of severe deficiencies. This place was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to create an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's second most favorable category turned out to be long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a C. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than most nursing homes. The last datapoint we assessed was the facility's hospitalization rate. While it had 2.64 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was not too bad.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility's next highest score was short-term care. As it turns out, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed somewhat badly. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This rating is typically a fair measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents that were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. We found that just 45.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The final category we rated was nursing, in which this facility received a rock bottom score in this category also. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is definitely a major disappointment. The nursing score is based on a handful of components, many of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This place averaged a meager 3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this facility also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility.
