Facility Inspections
This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its nearly flawless government inspection reports in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's long-term care score appears to be one of its higher features. The nursing home was given a C in this area. In computing our long-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's personal care services. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Does this page answer your questions about Senior Care Health & Rehabilitation Center - Wichi?
Short-term Care Quality
As it turns out, this nursing home only received a D for its short-term care grade, which is well below average in this category. In determining our short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Not surprisingly, we learned that this place provides significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. The final metric we looked at in this category is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 5.2 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below the national average.
Nurse Quality
The final area we analyzed was nursing. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this category, which is a poor grade. This is clearly a major disappointment. Our nursing rating includes a variety of factors. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. In addition to receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this nursing home was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and found that this place was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
