Facility Inspections
While we graded this place incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly impressive government inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our better scores in that area with a B. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors didn't deem 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 necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home only received a D for its short-term care grade, which was actually one of its more favorable category scores. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to grade a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To provide good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. With its weak rating in this category, we were not surprised to learn that this place provides far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who returned home from this facility. This place fared better in this area, with 50.7 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Another concern was the F this nursing home received in the area of long-term care. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 88.6747 percent of its patients. This is many points below what we were hoping for. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. We found that this facility had 2.15 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure is also a cause for concern.
Nurse Quality
The final category we graded was nursing, where this nursing home was given a very poor score in this area also. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this category, which is obviously somewhat alarming. The nursing score analyzes quite a few data points, but the paramount one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided just 1.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this nursing home also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This place had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility.
