Short-term Care Quality
While we graded this nursing home incredibly unfavorably overall, it received an impressive short-term care score this year. We awarded it a B in this area. In computing these short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. This place was above average in this area with 54.5 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
This facility didn't receive glowing inspections in recent years. We gave it a D for our inspections rating and that actually turned out to be its second highest grade. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility also received 25 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the area of long-term care, this nursing home was awarded a grade of just D in this category. Nursing homes that don't score well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to a relatively low 88.60294 percent of its patients, which is somewhat alarming. Unfortunately, this nursing home's hospitalization rate was also a cause for concern. We found that this place had 2.33 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an alarming rate.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to our final category, we awarded this nursing home a D for our nursing category. This was the facility's worst category grade. There are several criteria included in this area. Most of these subcategories relate to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is slightly below average. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility had really poor marks in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing falls which led to serious injury. This nursing home was at more than 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
