Facility Inspections
While we graded this place incredibly poorly overall, it actually received a relatively impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our more favorable scores in that category with a grade of B. Inspection ratings are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes with severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this facility received an F for its short-term care grade. With our short-term care assessment, we try to craft a fair gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. With a grade of this caliber in this area, we were not shocked to learn that this place was well below average in two of the key staffing metrics we assess. In fact, it supplied significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 43.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
In our next category, we gave this nursing home an F in the area of long-term care. Facilities that don't fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. We were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated 86.5 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be significantly below the national average. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. With 1.95 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility didn't fare as well as the average nursing home.
Nurse Quality
The final category we rated is nursing, where this nursing home was given an abysmal grade in this area also. We gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is definitely a major disappointment. When calculating a nursing home's nursing score, we consider the amount of time nurses spend with patients and the level of licensure of the nurses. This place provided a meager 3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is an alarmingly low total. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these statistics hurt this facility's nursing grade significantly.
