Facility Inspections
While we graded this place incredibly poorly overall, it received a relatively impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our more favorable grades in that category with a B+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also didn't rate poorly in the area of long-term care. In fact, we awarded it a grade of C in that category, which happens to be among its more respectable scores. In determining our long-term care ratings, we analyze the personal care received by a nursing home's patients. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.609375 percent of its patients. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.96 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this nursing home an F in the category of short-term care. In our short-term care score, we strive to forge a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Based on its weak rating in this category, we weren't shocked to find this place provided far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. The final metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 30.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics was damning for this facility's short-term care score.
Nurse Quality
The next area we analyzed was nursing. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this area, which is a poor grade. The nursing grade considers many factors. The most important factor is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This particular place provided just 2.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This statistic is significantly below the national average. On top of receiving below average scores for nursing hours, this nursing home was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents suffering pressure ulcers and found this place was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this metric.
