Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Nurse Quality
While we were not very complementary of this facility's overall grade, it actually received an impressive grade of A- in the area of nursing. When computing a facility's nursing grade, we assess the quantity of hours nurses are caring for patients and the level of licensure of the nurses. This facility provided 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as predictive indicators of the caliber of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's next highest area is its short-term care score, where it was awarded a grade of B-. In our short-term care score, we endeavor to create a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 43.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most facilities, about half of residents return home so this place is below average.
Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, this facility didn't receive glowing inspections in recent years. We gave it a grade of just D for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. We would pay close attention to the severity of the deficiencies. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they caused a threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 9 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we graded was long-term care, which proved to be a weak spot for this nursing home. We gave this nursing home a D for the area of long-term care. Facilities that don't fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 80.267555 percent of its patients. This is quite a bit below what we were hoping for. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at limiting hospitalizations. Although it had 2.06 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score wasn't bad since it had some more complex patients. This was its best score in this category
