Short-term Care Quality
Even though we graded this nursing home incredibly unfavorably overall, it surprisingly earned an impressive short-term care rating this year. We gave it a B in this area. In computing our short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Nurse Quality
Remarkably, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C for our nursing rating, which isn't a bad grade. Our nursing rating is largely associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. On top of ranking poorly in terms of nursing hours offered, this nursing home also fell short in certain datapoints that focus on quality of care. This nursing home's nursing grade was pulled down by poor performance in the area of minimizing pressure ulcers. In fact, we found that 19.1 percent of this nursing home's patients sustained pressure ulcers. This is more than double the average nursing home. Since many pressure ulcers can be avoided with proper nursing protocols, we reduce a facility's nursing score when we see this kind of prevalence of pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the category of long-term care, this nursing home was awarded a grade of just D in that area. When facilities receive this kind of grade in this category it is a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 91.41104 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Finally, we were stunned by its number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this nursing home fared very poorly with 3.65 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this statistic is more than double the national average.
Facility Inspections
Turning the final category of inspections, this nursing home fared very poorly. Sadly, it received an F in our inspection rating. This happens to be our most heavily weighted category in our overall grading system. We would advise paying close attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection score. We would scrutinize the level of severity of the deficiencies. This particular facility had 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 12 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
