Facility Inspections
Although we gave this place a terrible overall score, we gave it a grade of B for our inspections rating. This is due to the facility receiving a decent inspection report this year. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid facilities that had too many severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. The nursing category assesses a handful of factors, most of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is slightly below average. Finally, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This place was above average in two of the major metrics we focus on, with solid marks for avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are often reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care offered.
Long-term Care Quality
Our next area we analyzed was long-term care, in which this facility was given an F. Facilities that don't fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. One of the statistics we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 92.15017 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.8 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we rated is short-term care. We gave it an F for this category, which is a poor score. Our short-term care grades are important for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we found that it actually offers far less registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Given its grade in this area, this did not surprise us. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 31.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
