Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this nursing home favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent grade in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of A-. Arguably the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. It is generally in your best interest to avoid places that had too many severe deficiencies. It doesn't look like we have information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Without having all of the deficiency related data for this nursing home, it ended up being difficult to really assess the place in this category.
Long-term Care Quality
The next highest category we gave this nursing home in any area came in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a C. Our long-term care grades are more important for people requiring more traditional services associated with activities of daily living. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. Unfortunately, this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 83.97212 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Unfortunately, this place's hospitalization rate was also below average. We found that this place had 2.09 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. While this figure is somewhat concerning, this statistic may be skewed for some facilities due to the preexisting medical conditions of patients
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. The nursing category assesses a handful of components, most of which are associated with nursing hours. This nursing home averages 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below the national average. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this place also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. These statistics hurt this facility's nursing rating significantly.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we graded is short-term care, where this nursing home was given a bottom of the barrel score in this area as well. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this area, which is definitely somewhat alarming. In the category of short-term care, we seek to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Based on its poor grade in this category, we were not surprised to discover this nursing home offered substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 23.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
