Facility Inspections
While this place's overall score was as bad as it gets, it actually fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B for that area, which is one of our better scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively minor. This nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies an immediate threat to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Included in this nursing home's host of abysmal scores was its F in the area of short-term care. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. With its score in this area, we weren't stunned to discover that this place is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the measures we assessed. Honestly, this was about what we expected here. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 33.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics doomed this facility's short-term care grade.
Nurse Quality
Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. There are numerous criteria included in this category. Most of these factors relate to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. With only 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this place's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below average. This place also had abysmal scores in some of the quality-based measures to go along with its weak nursing hour totals. For starters, we looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers. This facility was at more than twice the national average in this datapoint. This is quite concerning when you consider that so many bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the facility's fate of receiving a poor nursing score.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our next category, this nursing home really didn't fare well here either. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in long-term care, this is really as terrible as it gets. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. One of the data points we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 1.59 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
