Facility Inspections
Although we didn't rate this facility favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent score in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid places that had too many deficiencies. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received an impressive grade in our long-term care category. We gave this facility an above average grade of B in that category. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are well cared for. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 84.08897 percent of its residents. This is a few points lower than we anticipated. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.71 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. Our nursing rating is based on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of training of the nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This place provided a meager 3.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This statistic is quite a bit below the national average. In addition to receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this facility was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of patients suffering pressure ulcers and found that this nursing home was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this metric.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we analyzed was short-term care, where this nursing home received a very poor grade in this area also. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this area, which is definitely a major disappointment. In computing our short-term care ratings, we size up a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This rating is considered to be a meaningful assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. It appears that this place was below average in several staffing metrics we assessed. It supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 17.5 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below average.
