Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Nurse Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Our nursing category analyzes a handful of subcategories, many of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. With 4 hours of nursing care per resident daily, this place surpassed the national average. We also look at the qualifications of nurses and apply more weight to hours worked by skilled nurses. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these metrics. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this metric. This is generally a reliable indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a system of moving patients more often.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also didn't fare terribly in the category of short-term care. Indeed, we awarded it a grade of B- in that category, which turned out to be another one of its better grades. In computing these short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to devise a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of physical therapy per week to its residents. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This place outperformed the majority of nursing homes in the nation with 53.8 percent of its patients returning home. This is a higher rate than most facilities.
Long-term Care Quality
Another issue was the F this facility received in the area of long-term care. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home vaccinated 96.16859 percent of its patients, which is a very solid percentage. To our surprise, this nursing home also keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.92 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
Facility Inspections
Turning our final category of inspections, this nursing home received a horrible grade. We weight this category more heavily than other categories. You should pay special attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection rating. We would scrutinize the severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home had a category G through L deficiency, which are among the more serious categories of deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies identified by the government inspectors had potential to pose actual harm to residents. In addition to having severe deficiencies, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
