Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Nurse Quality
While this nursing home's overall score was terrible, it didn't perform as poorly in the area of nursing. In fact, we gave it a C for this category. Nursing ratings are based in large part on nurse staffing levels. This nursing home provides 4.8 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is better than average. In calculating our grades, we add more weight to hours performed by more highly skilled nurses such as registered or licensed nurses. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these areas as good measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
Surprisingly, we awarded this facility a C for its long-term care score, which really isn't a bad grade. Long-term care grades are generally used to assess a facility's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services provided by a skilled nursing facility. While we determined this nursing home has an impressive volume of nursing care provided by aids and other nursing staff, we found its vaccine statistics to be somewhat lower than we expected. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 87.30159 percent of its residents. This is a statistic we would really like to see this facility improve on. Lastly, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. While it had 2.11 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was not as bad.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also stunned to discover that this facility received a somewhat respectable short-term care rating this year. We awarded it a C in that area. In the area of short-term care, we strive to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The tricky part is determining what effect this had on quality of care. The last statistic we considered in this category is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This facility performed better in this statistic. We found that it fared better than most facilities in this area with 50.3 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
In the final category of inspections, this facility really did not fare well. It received an F in our inspection rating. For facilities with bad inspection scores, you should really scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This particular facility was assessed a category J through K deficiency, which are among the worst categories of deficiencies. This generally means that the government inspectors found a deficiency which places resident health or safety in immediate jeopardy. Another red flag is that CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
