Long-term Care Quality
Neither this nursing home's overall grade nor its category grades gave us much to highlight here. Its best category was long-term care, but even there we gave it a grade of just D. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.68652 percent of its residents. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. We found that this facility had 2.21 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure is not nearly as favorable than its vaccination record.
Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. Nursing scores are largely tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided only 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident daily. On top of receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this place was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and found that this place was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second lowest category is short-term care, where it received just a D in that area. This is a relatively poor grade. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to grade a facility's rehabilitation services In order to have quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 25.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
Facility Inspections
Moving on our final category of inspections, this facility received an F in this area. For places with bad inspection ratings, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This particular nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility also received 4 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
