Short-term Care Quality
This facilities next most favorable area was short-term care. We gave it a B- in this category. This is essentially a middle of the pack score in this category. With our short-term care grade, we attempt to create a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is still important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Facility Inspections
Turning the last category of inspections, this facility did not fare well. Sadly, it received an F in this category. This ended up really pulling this nursing home's overall grade down as we heavily weight this category. You should pay special attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection score. We recommend you pay close attention to the level of severity of those deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 6 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was assessed significant government fines recently totaling over $100,000. This usually means that a bad track record spanned multiple years.
