Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a C for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. Our inspection scores account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. To our surprise, this nursing home had a category J through K deficiency, which are among the worst possible categories of deficiencies. This often means the government inspectors uncovered a deficiency which placed patient health or safety in immediate danger. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received some government fines in recent years.
Nurse Quality
This facility's second best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. Our nursing score is primarily associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This place offered just 3.1 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is quite a bit below average. This facility also had abysmal marks in some of the quality-based metrics to pair with its weak nursing hours. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing pressure ulcers. This nursing home was at more than twice the national average in this metric. This is quite concerning when you consider that so many bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the facility's fate of earning a weak nursing rating.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home only earned a grade of D for its short-term care rating, which is not a score to write home about. In computing our short-term care grades, we analyze a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This rating is typically a meaningful measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 45.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we graded is long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this area, which is a very poor score. Nursing homes that don't fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 89.928055 percent of its residents. This is many points less than average. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. We found that this facility fared poorly with 3.09 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this statistic is nearly double the national average.
