Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. Our inspection grades are based on several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This particular nursing home received 8 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
Included in this facility's several terrible scores was its F in the area of long-term care. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 99.57265 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, this place's hospitalization rate was not nearly as favorable. Here we found that this facility had 2.63 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a concerning rate.
Nurse Quality
In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing grade analyzes several factors, but the paramount one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This place offered just 3.1 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. Unfortunately, this facility also had abysmal marks in some of the quality-based measures to go along with its low nursing hour totals. We looked at the percent of patients suffering pressure ulcers and we were quite disappointed. This nursing home was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this metric.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we scored is short-term care. This facility received a very poor grade of F in this category. In the category of short-term care, we try to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. As you might expect, we discovered that this place offers significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average nursing home. The last metric we looked at in this area is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 38.8 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
