Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Nurse Quality
Although we gave this nursing home an abysmal overall score, we awarded it a grade of B- for our nursing rating. The nursing score weighs many components, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided just 0 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is significantly below the national average. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses to assist its residents.
Short-term Care Quality
Incredibly, we gave this nursing home a B- for its short-term care rating, which really isn't a bad grade. Our short-term care ratings are arguably more critical for people in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This means not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We were surprised to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is still important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The final item we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. It performed much better in this area. In fact, we found that it was above average in this metric with 52.2 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second lowest category is long-term care, where it earned just a D in that category. This is a relatively poor score. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. After we finished assessing the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinated 98.40638 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. We found that this nursing home fared much worse with 3.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, this figure is nearly double the national average.
Facility Inspections
In the final category of inspections, this facility had an abysmal showing. Sadly, it received an F in our inspection category. When a nursing home has this poor of an inspection grade, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a threat to resident safety or health. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
