Hireek Rehabilitation and Care

One of the reasons this is a decent facility is it earned a favorable inspection score. In this area, we gave this nursing home a B+. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area typically have very few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

This facility also was given a strong long-term care grade. In fact, we gave them a grade of B in this area, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. For prospective residents in need of a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 82.62627 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

This nursing home received its next best category grade in the category of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of C in this area, which is a decent score. In our short-term care rating, we seek to forge a valuable barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. It is important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

This facility's least impressive area is nursing, which is the last area we assessed. Sadly, it received an F for this category. Even with several solid scores in other areas, this grade is still alarming so we would like to to make a note of it. The nursing grade includes numerous factors. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. This nursing home also had terrible marks in some of the quality-based measures to pair with its low nursing hours. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and we were quite disappointed. This place was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this metric. This is a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. This statistic helped pull down this nursing home's nursing score quite a bit.
