Facility Inspections
Although this place's overall score was terrible, it actually fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection grades are based on several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
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 mostly tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This facility offered just 3.2 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This statistic is well below average. On top of its subpar nursing hours, this nursing home also received poor marks in many of the quality-based metrics we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We found that a higher percentage of this facility's residents suffered falls leading to serious injury. We believe that many falls could likely be prevented with better nursing care. This metric contributed to this facility receiving a terrible nursing score.
Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home only received a grade of D for its short-term care rating, which is not a score to write home about. Our short-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was subpar in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the staffing figures we considered. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 30.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we graded is long-term care, which ended up being this facility's worst area. We awarded this facility a D in that category. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 1.7 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
