Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we gave it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid places with too many severe deficiencies flagged. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the category of short-term care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Unfortunately, this ended up being one of its better grades. Our short-term care grades are crucial for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This means a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Considering its abysmal grade in this category, we were not stunned to learn this nursing home provided substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility wound up receiving a rock-bottom score in our long-term care area. It received an F in this area. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 99.53917 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.16 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the next category, this facility really didn't fare well in this category either. With an abysmal grade of F in nursing, this is about as bad as it gets. Our nursing rating is largely tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility averaged only 2.1 hours of nursing care per patient daily. In addition to being below average in nursing hours per resident, this nursing home also had poor marks 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 was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in both of these statistics. This is a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These scores pulled down this facility's nursing rating significantly.
