Long-term Care Quality
Even though this facility's overall grade was horrible, it didn't perform quite as poorly in the area of long-term care. In fact, we awarded it a grade of C for that area, which isn't bad. Unfortunately, this was not enough to salvage its otherwise poor profile. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 98.91892 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is better than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, its hospitalization rate was not quite as favorable. Here we found that this place had 2.68 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the area of short-term care, this nursing home was given a grade of just D in that area. Sadly, this proved to be one of its better features. In determining these short-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Unfortunately, this facility was subpar in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the measures we considered. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this facility. This was not a strength either for this facility. We found that just 45.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is below average.
Facility Inspections
We also wanted to draw your attention to this place's inspection grade where it received an F. For nursing homes with poor inspection grades, you should scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This nursing home had 8 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines of over $100,000. This generally indicates that a nursing home's bad track record has been an issue for several years.
Nurse Quality
The next area we analyzed is nursing. This facility was given a very poor grade of F in that area. Nursing ratings are primarily based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. Quantity of nursing care does not appear to be the problem here. Based on the data, it looks like this nursing home provides an above average 3.9 hours per resident on a daily basis. This is more nursing care than most places offer. Despite performing well in terms of nursing hours, this place did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home was above the national average in both statistics.
