Facility Inspections
Although this facility's overall score was as bad as it gets, it actually fared pretty well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B for that area, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid facilities with a bunch of severe deficiencies flagged. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also didn't perform too badly in the category of long-term care. Indeed, we awarded it a grade of B- in that category, which happens to be another one of its higher grades. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.53658 percent of its residents. Unfortunately, its hospitalization rate was less impressive. We found that this facility had 2.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
Our third area we analyzed is short-term care, in which this facility received an F. Our short-term care scores are considered to be most meaningful for those requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, 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. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 33 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
Nurse Quality
The final area we scored was nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this area, which is a bottom of the barrel score. In determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we consider the number of hours nurses spend with patients and the levels of training of those nurses. This nursing home provides 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is slightly below average. On top of being below average in nursing hours per resident, this nursing home also had poor marks in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This facility was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in both of these metrics. This is a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These metrics pulled down this facility's nursing grade quite a bit.
