Nurse Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of C for our nursing rating. Our nursing grade weighs a host of factors. The most important factor is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This place provides 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the number of hours of care offered.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second most favorable score was short-term care, but even there it received just a D in that category. This turns out to be a relatively poor grade. In computing our short-term care grades, we assess the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This rating is frequently a reliable measure of the facility's rehabilitation services. Not surprisingly, we learned that this nursing home offers substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical nursing home. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. We found that just 45.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was below the national average.
Facility Inspections
We wanted to draw your attention to this nursing home's inspection grade where it received a lowly F. This often means we found red flags on its government inspection reports. For facilities with poor inspection grades, you should scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was long-term care. This nursing home received a very poor grade of F in this area. Facilities that don't fare well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 71.111115 percent of its patients. This is multiple points below what we were hoping for. To our surprise, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 1.5 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
