Facility Inspections
While this place's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
Remarkably, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C for our nursing rating, which isn't a bad grade. Nursing ratings are primarily tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as minimizing major falls. This place performed admirably in this subcategory. Avoiding major falls is typically a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses to assist its residents.
Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home just a D for our short-term care grade. This is well below average in this category. In crafting these short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to devise a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 40.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the fourth area, this facility really didn't perform very well in this area either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in long-term care, this is really as bad as it gets. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated 89.21568 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is quite a bit lower than the national average. To our surprise, this place wasn't as bad as we expected at keeping its patients out of the hospital. While it had 1.82 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score wasn't bad since it had more complex patients.
