Facility Inspections
Although we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it actually received a relatively impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our better scores in that area with a B+. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid places with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home only received a D for its long-term care rating, which ended up being one of its better category grades. For residents in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this facility a grade of just D for our short-term care score. This is well below average in this category. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Considering its grade in this area, we weren't surprised to find that this place was well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Honestly, this was about what we expected here. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 46.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the last category, this nursing home didn't perform very well in this area either. With a poor grade of F in nursing, this is just about as terrible as it gets. Our nursing rating is based on numerous factors. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home provides 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Unfortunately, this facility also had abysmal scores in some of the quality-based measures to pair with its weak nursing hour totals. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and we were disappointed. This facility was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this area.
