Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this facility overall, we awarded it an A for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
The second best area we gave this facility in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. In computing these short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to create a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its level of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The critical question is whether this also impacted quality of care. The final metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found it was above average in this area with 51.5 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the area of long-term care, this facility received a grade of just D in that area. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means the facility didn't perform well in our measures relating to resident care. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated 81.818184 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly below average. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this place had 2.31 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure is also alarming.
Nurse Quality
This facility's least impressive area was nursing, which is the last category we assessed. For this category, we gave this facility a grade of D. There are numerous subcategories within this grade. Many of the data points relate to staffing levels. This particular nursing home offered a meager 2.9 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This statistic is far below average. On top of its subpar nursing hours, this nursing home received suboptimal marks in many of the quality-based measures we considered in computing our nursing scores. We found that a higher percentage of this place's patients suffered falls which led to serious injury. We would argue that many falls could likely be prevented with better nursing care. This metric contributed to this nursing home receiving a poor nursing grade.
