Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a horrible overall score, we gave it an A- for our inspections score. This grade is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. Inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid facilities with a list of deficiencies flagged. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Surprisingly, we awarded this facility a C for its short-term care rating, which really isn't a bad grade. Short-term care grades are typically used to judge a facility's rehabilitation services. To have good rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of physical therapy per week to its residents. The final metric we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. It was above average in this area with 51.9 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the category of long-term care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is a very solid datapoint. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this nursing home fared radically worse with 4.24 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this statistic is more than double the national average.
Nurse Quality
The final category we assessed was nursing. This facility was given a very poor grade of F in that area. In computing our nursing scores, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home averages 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below the national average. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This facility had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These metrics hurt this nursing home's nursing grade significantly.
