Facility Inspections
Although this place's overall score was as bad as it gets, it actually performed well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that category, which is one of our better scores. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid nursing homes that have too many deficiencies. This nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's second most favorable category was long-term care, but it nevertheless received a grade of just D in that category. This ended up being a well below average grade. Nursing homes that do not score well in long-term care often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. We were concerned by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 60.893852 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at limiting hospitalizations. Although it had 1.82 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic wasn't as bad since it had more complex patients. This is its best feature in this category
Nurse Quality
Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. When computing our nursing scores, we weigh both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home averaged a meager 1.7 hours of nursing care per patient each day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we scored is short-term care, in which this facility was given an abysmal score in this category also. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is definitely a major concern. In determining these short-term care grades, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to devise a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. As you might expect, we discovered that this facility offers significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 22 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
