Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Nurse Quality
Even though we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable nursing rating this year. We gave it a B- in that category. When computing our nursing ratings, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of the nurses. This nursing home averages 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at a few nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this datapoint.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also stunned to learn that this nursing home earned a reasonably solid short-term care rating this year. We gave it a B- in this area. In determining these short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to create a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. One of this nursing home's strengths is physical therapy hours. We found that it offers more hours with physical therapists to its residents than most facilities. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that it was above average in this metric with 50.7 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a grade of just D in the area of inspections. One of the more critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We would pay close attention to the level of severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home had 9 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we scored was long-term care, where this nursing home received a rock bottom score in this category as well. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this category, which is obviously a major disappointment. For residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is more than most nursing homes. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
