Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, we didn't have any good things to say about this nursing home's overall grade or its category grades. Its best category was the area of inspections. However, with a D in this area, it still performed relatively poorly. One of the more critical factors in evaluating inspection reports is deficiencies. We recommend you pay close attention to the severity of those deficiencies. This nursing home had one category J through K deficiency, which rank among the worst deficiencies. Finally, this facility also received 3 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In that category, we awarded this facility an D. In determining our nursing grades, we analyze both nursing hours and the training levels of the nurses. This facility provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is below the national average. On top of 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 computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents suffering pressure ulcers and found this nursing home was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this metric.
Long-term Care Quality
As it turns out, this nursing home only earned a grade of D for its long-term care rating, which is well below average in this category. Facilities that don't fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 91.203705 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.31 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed is short-term care, where this facility received a very poor score here as well. Sadly, it received an F in this area, which is obviously very concerning. In forming our short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Based on its grade in this category, we were not surprised to learn that this place was well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the data we looked at. Honestly, this was about what we expected to find. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 36.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
