Facility Inspections
Although we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it actually earned a very impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that area with a B. Our inspection grades are tied to many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities with severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
As it turns out, this nursing home only earned a D for its long-term care grade, which turns out to be one of its higher category grades. For long-term care residents, the facility'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 patients. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an above average total. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.64 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
Short-term Care Quality
We gave this nursing home a grade of just D for our short-term care rating. This is not an impressive grade. With our short-term care category, we attempt to forge a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. It appears that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing metrics we assessed. The facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 37.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the fourth area, we awarded this facility a D in the area of nursing. This is the nursing home's least impressive category score. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home averaged only 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is well below average. To go along with its below average total nursing hours per patient, this place had poor scores in several of the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing scores. For starters, we looked at the percent of residents having falls which led to major injury. This place was at more than 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
