Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next most favorable score is long-term care, but even there it received a grade of just D in that area. This turns out to be a relatively poor grade. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility gave the vaccine to 95.16908 percent of its patients, which is an above average statistic. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.98 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this facility just a D for our short-term care grade. This is not a score to write home about. Our short-term care grades are arguably most meaningful for patients needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional skilled nursing. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. The last item we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 36.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics doomed this nursing home's short-term care grade.
Nurse Quality
The final category we analyzed is nursing, where this nursing home was given a very poor grade here as well. We gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is definitely a major concern. Our nursing grade assesses quite a few factors, but the primary consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This place provided just 3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This number is quite a bit below average. This place also had abysmal marks in some of the quality-based metrics to pair with its weak nursing hours. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and we were disappointed. This nursing home was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this area. This is a bad sign in light of the fact that many bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. This statistic helped pull down this facility's nursing grade significantly.
