Long-term Care Quality
We did not have any favorable things to say about this nursing home's overall score or its category grades. Its best category was long-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this category, it still performed poorly. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinated 99.70588 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Lastly, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this nursing home had 2.58 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure is far less favorable than its vaccination record.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility ended up receiving a an abysmal grade in our short-term care area. It was given an F in this area. Short-term care grades are generally employed to score a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To have quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 30.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
Facility Inspections
Among this facility's alarming category grades was an F for its inspection grade. More often than not, this means we found some red flags on the facility's inspection reports. When a facility has this bad of an inspection score, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
Nurse Quality
The final area we graded was nursing. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this category, which is a bottom of the barrel score. Nursing scores are based in large part on levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is below the national average. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home.
