Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to point out its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A+ in this category. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the category of short-term care. This ended up being its second most favorable category. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. Short-term care ratings are important for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that it fared well in this metric with 63.4 percent of its patients returning home. At most facilities, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this facility a rock-bottom F in the category of long-term care. In a long-term care setting, the 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 against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 98.39743 percent of its residents. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. With 1.96 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home did not fare quite as well.
Nurse Quality
The final category we graded was nursing. It received a lowly F in this category, which is a poor score. The nursing score consists of a handful of subcategories, but the most important one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. With a meager 3.2 hours of nursing care per patient daily, this place's nurse staffing levels were well below the national average. Unfortunately, this nursing home also had terrible scores in several of the quality-based measures to go along with its weak nursing hour totals. For starters, we looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers. This facility was at more than twice the national average in this datapoint.
