Lanessa Extended Care

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B for our nursing rating. Our nursing rating considers a variety of subcategories. The most important factor is the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of moving a patient more often.

Incredibly, we gave this facility a grade of C for our long-term care grade, which is not a bad grade. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. Unfortunately, this facility vaccinated a relatively low 76.03834 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this facility excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

We awarded this facility a grade of just D for our short-term care grade. This is not one of our better scores. Short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. As you might expect, we discovered that this nursing home offers far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical nursing home. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

The last category we assessed is inspections. This nursing home did not receive favorable government inspections in recent years. In fact, we gave it an F here. For places with poor inspection grades, you should really scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This facility was hit with a category G through L deficiency, which are among the more severe categories of deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies identified by CMS had potential to pose actual harm to residents. Lastly, we want to point out that this place was assessed significant government fines recently totaling more than $100,000. This generally signifies that a bad performance has been an issue for multiple years.
