Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this nursing home favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent grade in the category of inspections, where it earned a grade of A+. Arguably the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid facilities that had too many severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a respectable score in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. With our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to create a valuable measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. This place fared well in this metric with 57.7 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility ended up receiving a an abysmal score in our long-term care area. It was given an F in this category. For residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 98.07692 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is more than most nursing homes. To our surprise, this facility also wasn't as bad as we expected at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Although it had 2.17 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score wasn't bad due to it having more complex patients.
Nurse Quality
The next area we assessed was nursing. This facility received a poor grade of F in that category. There are a host of factors included in this grade. Most of these factors relate to the quantity of nurse staffing. With just 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily, this facility's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below the national average. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this place also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility.
