Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a very impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that category with an A-. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid places that had a long list of deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Despite this deficiency, this nursing home still received a relatively favorable report.
Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this facility's second most respectable score was short-term care. However, with a D in this area, it still fared somewhat poorly. In computing our short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 44.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home's next best score was long-term care. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed somewhat poorly. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means the nursing home didn't perform well in our measures relating to patient care. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 73.04117 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this place had 2.5 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure is also a cause for concern.
Nurse Quality
The final category we looked at is nursing. This facility received a bottom of the barrel grade of F in this category. When computing a facility's nursing score, we weigh the amount of time nurses are with patients and the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is slightly below the national average. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home 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 experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility.
