Nurse Quality
While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it didn't perform as poorly in the area of nursing. We awarded it a B- for that area. The nursing grade includes a handful of factors, most of which are based on nursing hours. This facility provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these areas as good indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also pleasantly surprised to learn that this nursing home earned a somewhat respectable short-term care grade this year. We gave it a C in that category. In computing our short-term care scores, we size up the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This category is typically a reliable assessment of a facility's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. This place was respectable in this area with 45.1 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, this nursing home received a lowly F for its inspection score. You should pay close attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection rating. We suggest you scrutinize the severity of those deficiencies. This particular facility was assessed a category J or K deficiency, which are among the worst categories of deficiencies. Finally, this facility also received 6 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our last category, this nursing home did not perform well in this area either. With a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is really as bad as it gets. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinated 95.703125 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.57 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
