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 C. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to present an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received some government fines in recent years.
Short-term Care Quality
Surprisingly, we gave this nursing home a C for its short-term care rating, which isn't too bad of a score. Our short-term care grades are thought to be more meaningful for individuals needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides a greater volume of physical therapist hours to its residents than the average nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the majority of nursing homes in this area with 50.3 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home's third best category is long-term care. However, with a grade of D in this area, it still performed somewhat poorly. For prospective residents looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.53 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to our fourth area, this facility didn't perform well here either. Due to a poor grade of F in nursing, this is just about as bad as it gets. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. Quantity of nursing care is apparently not the issue here with this place's grade. This facility actually provides an above average 4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Despite performing well in terms of nursing hours, this place had poor scores in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and we were very disappointed. This nursing home was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this statistic. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. This statistic helped pull down this nursing home's nursing grade quite a bit.
