Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 8 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next most respectable category is long-term care, but even there it earned a grade of just D in that category. This turns out to be a well below average score. For patients in need of a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an above average total. We were far less impressed with the facility's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 3.41 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is more than twice the national average. This is definitely a concerning statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
Another concern is the F this facility was given in the area of short-term care. With our short-term care category, we strive to craft a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Given its weak score in this area, we weren't surprised to learn this nursing home offers far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients who returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 37.3 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.
Nurse Quality
The next area we graded was nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this area, which is a rock bottom grade. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. This particular nursing home provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below average. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These statistics pulled down this facility's nursing rating quite a bit.
