Nurse Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our nursing rating. When determining a facility's nursing rating, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are caring for residents and the levels of training of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also factored in some quality-based assessments. This facility scored well in a few of the quality-based metrics we looked at. For example, in terms of the percentage of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this nursing home outpaced the national average. This is often an indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided with better nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also didn't fare too badly in the area of long-term care. Indeed, we gave it a grade of C in that area, which happens to be among its more respectable grades. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this facility vaccinated only 61.837456 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Unfortunately, its hospitalization rate was worse than we hoped. Here we found that this facility had 2.22 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this figure is quite a bit higher than the national average, this number may be skewed for some nursing homes due to the preexisting medical conditions of patients
Facility Inspections
This facility didn't perform horribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded them a C for that area. We believe that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. This place was hit with 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were in any of the categories labeled J through L. This means the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to place patient safety or health in imminent harm or jeopardy. In addition to having severe deficiencies, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
Short-term Care Quality
Our next category is short-term care, in which we gave this nursing home a C in this area. Short-term care ratings are important for residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides a greater volume of physical therapist hours to its residents than the average nursing home. The last item we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 35.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
