Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. We believe that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. While this place had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Incredibly, we gave this facility a grade of C for its short-term care score, which really isn't a bad grade. In the category of short-term care, we seek to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 38.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also didn't perform terribly in the area of nursing. In fact, we awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is another one its better scores. When calculating our nursing grades, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home averages 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing ratings also include quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed above average in this area.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our next category, this facility didn't fare very well here either. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in long-term care, this is really as terrible as it gets. For prospective patients seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility administered the vaccine to 98.83382 percent of its residents, which is an above average figure. Surprisingly, this facility also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 1.68 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
