Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid nursing homes with too many deficiencies flagged. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home excelled in our nursing category, where it received a grade of D. Our nursing score is primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home averaged just 3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This number is quite a bit below the national average. On top of its subpar nursing hours, this place earned suboptimal marks in several of the quality-based metrics we considered in calculating our nursing scores. We found that more of this place's residents sustained falls which led to major injury.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility ended up receiving a an abysmal score in our long-term care area. It was given a lowly F in this area. When facilities receive this type of score in long-term care it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the nursing home is not as well-staffed. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. We were disappointed to learn that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 74.14634 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this facility had 2.15 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure is also a cause for concern.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed is short-term care. This facility received a rock bottom grade of F in this category. Short-term care grades are vital for prospective residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing. This means a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Based on its poor grade in this area, we were not surprised to find that this nursing home provided far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 31.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
