Short-term Care Quality
While we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to draw your attention to its high marks in the area of short-term care. We awarded them an A- in this area, which salvaged an otherwise lacking profile. In calculating these short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to formulate a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. This nursing home is above the national average both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. These are generally good indicators of quality short-term care. The last metric we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to return home. This nursing home was above average in this area with 50.5 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
Surprisingly, this facility actually received an impressive nursing grade this year as well. We gave it a grade of B+ in this category. Our nursing grade is largely associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.9 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is higher than the level of care offered by most nursing homes. Lastly, we also factored a few quality-based metrics into our nursing grades. This place was on the weaker side in several of the datapoints we look at, with below average figures for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are typically reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
Facility Inspections
We wanted to draw your attention to this nursing home's inspection grade where it received a lowly F. When a place has this bad of an inspection rating, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. Tragically, this place was hit with one category L deficiency. This type of deficiency indicates widespread threats to patient safety or health. A deficiency in this category is very damaging to a nursing home's inspection rating. Finally, this facility also received 14 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed was long-term care. This nursing home was given an abysmal grade of F in that area. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home gave the vaccine to 98.7013 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable total. Surprisingly, this facility also keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.15 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
