Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home highly overall, we want to point out its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively minor. This place was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second best category was long-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. This is essentially a middle of the pack score in this category. Our long-term care grade assesses a facility's assistance with daily living rather than the skilled nursing or healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 96.91358 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this nursing home had 2.54 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure was less favorable than its other scores in this category.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. Our nursing rating includes a number of subcategories. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spent with patients. This facility averaged a meager 3.1 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This facility was above average in two of the major metrics we considered, with good scores for avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. These datapoints are usually good indicators of the quality of nursing care available.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we scored was short-term care, in which this nursing home received a bottom of the barrel score here as well. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is definitely very concerning. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. In this place's case, we found that it actually provides far less registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Given its grade in this category, this did not surprise us. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well in this area. In fact, we found that just 30.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
