Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score was terrible, it actually fared pretty well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that area, which is one of our better scores. Arguably the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid nursing homes that had too many severe deficiencies. This nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also pleasantly surprised to learn that this facility earned a decent short-term care score this year. We gave it a grade of C in this category. In our short-term care assessment, we strive to craft a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that it performed better than most facilities in this area with 50.1 percent of its residents returning home. With most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility's next highest category was long-term care. As it turns out, with a grade of D in this area, it still performed relatively poorly. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. One of the criteria we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 97.83394 percent of its patients. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this facility fared much worse with 3.24 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, this statistic is nearly double the national average.
Nurse Quality
The next area we rated was nursing. This facility was given a rock bottom grade of F in this category. Our nursing grade considers a variety of subcategories. The most heavily weighted one is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. This facility provided just 2.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. This place also had terrible marks in some of the quality-based measures to pair with its low nursing hour totals. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and we were quite disappointed. This place was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this measure. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many pressure ulcers are preventable with better nursing care. This statistic helped pull down this facility's nursing grade quite a bit.
