Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a C for that category, which is one of our better scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively insignificant. This nursing home had 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This indicates that this facility avoided the more serious classes of deficiencies. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the category of short-term care, this nursing home was given just a D in that area. Sadly, this ended up being its second best grade. In computing our short-term care scores, we look at a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This category is often a solid measure of the facility's rehabilitation services. As you might expect, we found that this facility offers significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical facility. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. This place fared better in this area, with 54.5 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. The nursing grade is based on a handful of subcategories, many of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. With a meager 3.1 hours of nursing care per patient daily, this place's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below the national average. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this nursing home also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This place had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed is long-term care. This nursing home received an abysmal grade of F in this category. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category likely don't provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities provide. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 89.66346 percent of its residents. This is several points lower than what we were hoping for. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at limiting hospitalizations. Although it had 2.37 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric wasn't as bad since it had more complex patients. This is its best feature in this category
