Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a C for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. We believe that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. This place was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in categories J through L. This means that inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to put patient health or safety in imminent harm or jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Long-term Care Quality
We were also surprised to find that this nursing home received a decent long-term care rating in our assessment. We awarded it a C in this category. Long-term care grades focus on a facility's assistance with daily living rather than the highly skilled therapy and healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 92 percent of its residents against pneumonia. The last statistic we assessed is its hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 1.9 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is also slightly below average.
Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we gave this facility an F in the category of short-term care. Our short-term care scores are thought to be most important for people requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. With its poor rating in this category, we weren't stunned to learn this facility offers far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 28.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to our last category, this facility really did not fare well in this area either. With a very poor grade of F in nursing, this is just about as bad as it gets. We analyzed the levels of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses were with patients, in determining our rating in this area. This place provided only 2.1 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This nursing home also had terrible scores in some of the quality-based measures to go along with its weak nursing hours. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and we were very disappointed. This facility was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this area. This is a bad sign when you consider that so many bed sores could be avoided with better nursing care. This statistic helped pull down this facility's nursing grade quite a bit.
