Facility Inspections
Although this facility's overall score was terrible, it actually fared pretty well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B for that area, which is one of our better scores. Inspection scores are based on pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. While this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Remarkably, we awarded this facility a B- for our long-term care score, which really isn't a bad grade. In determining these long-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Unfortunately, this place's hospitalization rate was not quite as favorable. We found that this place had 2.17 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed is short-term care, where this nursing home was given an F. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be more meaningful for those requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. As you might expect, we found that this nursing home provides significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 24.7 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the fourth category, this facility really did not fare very well here either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in nursing, this is about as as uninspiring as it gets. Our nursing rating looks at the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This place averaged just 2.9 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is not a very impressive figure. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this place also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. These metrics hurt this facility's nursing grade quite a bit.
