Long-term Care Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our long-term care rating. For patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an above average figure. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.34 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home really excelled in the category of nursing, where it received an C. Few places fared better in this category. Our nursing grade is largely tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides an impressive 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also weighed some quality-based metrics. This facility performed well in a few of the quality measures we looked at. In terms of the number of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this nursing home performed better than the national average.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility only received a D for its short-term care rating, which is not one of our better scores. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Based on its score in this area, we were not stunned to find that this nursing home was subpar in terms of its quantity of registered nurse hours offered to its residents. Frankly, this was about what we expected here. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area, with just 30.7 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
Facility Inspections
In the last category of inspections, this nursing home really did not fare well. It received an F in our inspection category. This is the most heavily weighted category in our grading system. When a facility has this bad of an inspection rating, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This nursing home was assessed one category L deficiency, which is the most severe category of deficiencies. This category means inspectors found a widespread deficiency placing resident safety or health in immediate jeopardy. Even one deficiency of this severity really pulls a facility's inspection grade down. Finally, this facility also received 2 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
