Facility Inspections
Although this place's overall grade was terrible, it fared pretty well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B for that category, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid nursing homes with a bunch of deficiencies flagged. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. Our nursing score is mostly tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. On top of its subpar nursing hours, this facility earned suboptimal marks in several of the quality-based measures we considered in determining our nursing grades. We found that a higher percentage of this facility's residents suffered falls leading to serious injury.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second least favorable score is short-term care, where it earned a grade of just D in that area. This is a well below average grade. In the category of short-term care, we strive to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. With a grade in this range in this area, we were not stunned to discover this facility was below average in multiple staffing metrics we looked at. The facility supplied significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. Finally, we considered the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This place performed better in this area, with 51 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the next category, this facility didn't fare well in this category either. Due to a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is really as terrible as it gets. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. After considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated 86.62281 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is significantly below average. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 1.17 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
