Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it an A for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. Our inspection ratings are tied to several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. Our nursing grade is largely associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident daily, which is well below average. Lastly, while this place got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed well in this statistic.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility's third highest score was long-term care. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed somewhat poorly. In a long-term care environment, the primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. One of the criteria we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 98.83041 percent of its patients. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. With 1.72 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility didn't fare quite as well.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the next category, this facility really didn't fare well here either. With an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is about as terrible as it gets. Our short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 24.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
