Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We didn't have any positive things to say about this facility's overall grade or its category grades. Nevertheless, with a D in this area, it still performed relatively poorly. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 96.296295 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. Our nursing grade is largely associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This place offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

This place received a lowly F for its inspection score. For nursing homes that received this poor of an inspection rating, we would scrutinize any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Amazingly, this particular nursing didn't have any deficiencies on its inspection report. Clearly, this was not the area dragging down its inspection grade. Finally, we also want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was assessed significant government fines totaling over $100,000. This typically means that a bad track record spanned several years.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we assessed was short-term care, in which this nursing home was given a poor score here as well. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this category, which is obviously somewhat alarming. In determining these short-term care grades, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to devise a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Given its grade in this category, we were not stunned to discover that this facility was well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the data we assessed. The last statistic we considered in this category is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.4 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below the national average.

Grade: D

In Jefferson Healthcare Center, 25.19% of Patients use Anti-Psychotic Medication

This figure tells you the percent of long-term patients who were prescribed antipsychotic drugs.
