Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Nurse Quality
Even though we graded this nursing home very poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable nursing rating this year. We gave it a C in that category. Our nursing rating looks at the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. This place performed admirably in this datapoint. Avoiding major falls is typically an indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also stunned to learn that this facility received a decent short-term care grade in our assessment. We gave it a C in that area. Our short-term care grades are likely most important for people in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally requires more skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This proved to be more of a strength for this facility. In fact, we found that it outperformed the majority of facilities in the country in this area with 49.7 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, with a grade of D in the inspection category, this facility performed relatively poorly in that area. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This facility had 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility also received 29 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's worst category was long-term care, which is the final area we scored. For this category, we awarded this facility a grade of D. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means the facility didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to patient care. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated just 81.108315 percent of its patients. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this place had 2.44 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure is also concerning.
