Facility Inspections
Although we gave this place a terrible overall score, we awarded it a B for our inspections rating. This is the result of the nursing home receiving a quality inspection report this year. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite minor. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. Nursing scores are mostly associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averaged just 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is well below average. Unfortunately, this facility also had terrible marks in several of the quality-based metrics to pair with its weak nursing hour totals. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers. This facility was at more than twice the national average in this metric.
Short-term Care Quality
Another issue was the F this facility was given in the category of short-term care. Our short-term care grades are important for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. It appears that this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the staffing figures we assessed. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 23.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we graded was long-term care. It received a lowly F in this category, which is a poor score. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the statistics we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 95.959595 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. While it had 1.84 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric wasn't bad since it had some more complex patients.
