Facility Inspections
While this place'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. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also pleasantly surprised to learn that this facility earned a solid short-term care score in our assessment. We gave it a C in that area. In our short-term care category, we strive to create a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The last measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. This place fared well in this area with 60.3 percent of its patients returning home. With most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we graded was long-term care. This nursing home's was given a bottom of the barrel long-term care grade where it was given an F. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means the nursing home did not perform well in our measures relating to patient care. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to just 53.932587 percent of its residents, which is a bit of a concern. Unfortunately, its hospitalization rate was also a cause for concern. We found that this nursing home had 2.57 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an alarming rate.
Nurse Quality
The next category we looked at is nursing. This nursing home received a poor grade of F in that category. Our nursing category assesses quite a few subcategories, most of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. With only 3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this place's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home was above average in two of the statistics we focus on, with good scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These statistics are usually good measures of the quality of nursing care offered.
