Facility Inspections
Although we didn't rate this nursing home favorably overall, we did give it an excellent score in the category of inspections, where it received an A. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we awarded this facility a B in our long-term care category. This happens to be one of our better scores. When facilities receive this type of score in long-term care it is usually a good sign for patient care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 97.42647 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. The last datapoint we looked at was its hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 3.95 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Although this wasn't as favorable as most of its other scores in this category, this number can be skewed for some facilities due to some of the medical complexity of residents.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second lowest category was short-term care, where it received a grade of just D in that category. This is a relatively poor score. Our short-term care grade is generally used to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to provide highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to feature higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. As you might expect, we discovered that this nursing home provides far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical nursing home. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 33.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The last category we assessed was nursing, where this nursing home received a poor score in this category also. We gave it a lowly F for this category, which is obviously very concerning. Nursing scores are based largely on nurse staffing levels. This particular nursing home provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below average. This facility also had abysmal scores in some of the quality-based metrics to go along with its weak nursing hours. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and we were quite disappointed. This place was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this statistic. This is likely a bad sign in light of the fact that so many pressure ulcers are preventable with better nursing care. This statistic helped pull down this facility's nursing score quite a bit.
