Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. While this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This means CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
Remarkably, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B- for our nursing rating, which isn't a bad grade. Our nursing grade is mostly associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 2.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second least favorable category was short-term care, where it received just a D in that area. This is a well below average grade. With our short-term care score, we strive to craft a valuable gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 36.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most facilities, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at was long-term care, which proved to be this nursing home's least impressive area. We gave this facility a D in this category. In a long-term care environment, the primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinated 99.37107 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.64 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
