Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Short-term Care Quality
Although this facility's overall score was abysmal, it didn't perform terribly in short-term care. In fact, we gave it a B- for that category, which isn't bad. Unfortunately, this was not enough to save its otherwise poor profile. Our short-term care scores are arguably more meaningful for folks requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. One reason for this nursing home's strong score in this category is that it provides a substantially greater volume of physical therapist hours to its patients than the typical facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. It outperformed the majority of facilities in the nation with 52 percent of its patients returning home. This is a better rate than most facilities.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. Nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility an B-. When determining our nursing scores, we look at both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provides 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as minimizing major falls. This facility performed admirably in this statistic. Avoiding serious falls is often a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Some falls can be prevented if a nursing home provides enough nurses to assist its residents.
Facility Inspections
We wanted to point out this nursing home's inspection rating where it received a lowly F. This typically means we found some red flags on the inspections. When a facility has this poor of an inspection score, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This nursing home was assessed one category J or K deficiency, which rank among the worst categories of deficiencies. This generally means that inspectors identified a deficiency which places patient health or safety in immediate jeopardy. Lastly, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was assessed large government fines in recent years in excess of $50,000. This usually suggests that CMS inspectors grew tired after multiple years of failed government inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the final area, this nursing home really didn't fare well in this category either. With a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is about as terrible as it gets. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it typically means the facility didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to patient care. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to just 55.084747 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home was not as bad as we expected at keeping its residents out of the hospital. While it had 1.95 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric wasn't bad since it had some more complicated patients.
