Facility Inspections
Although this place's overall score was as bad as it gets, it actually fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B for that category, which is one of our better scores. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we gave this nursing home an F in the area of long-term care. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is typically a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were concerned by the fact that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 87.97814 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Unfortunately, its hospitalization rate was also a cause for concern. We found that this nursing home had 2.1 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an alarming rate.
Nurse Quality
Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing grade includes many subcategories. The most important factor is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home provides 3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed was short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is a rock bottom grade. Our short-term care scores are probably more meaningful for patients needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. With a score of this caliber in this area, we weren't stunned to learn this place was well below average in several staffing metrics we assess. The facility provided significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 29.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
