Facility Inspections
While we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it actually earned an impressive government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that category with an A. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid facilities with a list of deficiencies flagged. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the area of long-term care, this nursing home was awarded just a D in that area. As it turns out, this proved to be one of its best areas. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care may not provide the kind of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities provide. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We discovered that this nursing home administered the vaccine to only 65.98241 percent of its residents, which is slightly concerning. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
Our third category we assessed was short-term care, where this facility was given an F. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 43 percent of its patients returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the last category, this nursing home didn't fare very well in this area either. Due to a poor grade of F in nursing, this is really as terrible as it gets. Nursing grades are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home offered just 2.7 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is not a very impressive figure. In addition to receiving below average marks for nursing hours, this place was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and found this nursing home was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this metric.
