Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility's overall grade, it received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best scores in that category with an A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. 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.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second most favorable category is short-term care, but it still received just a D in that area. This turns out to be a well below average score. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. With its abysmal rating in this category, we weren't shocked to learn this nursing home provided far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most nursing homes. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this facility. We found that just 46.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second lowest category is long-term care, where it received just a D in that area. This is a relatively poor grade. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is better than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, its hospitalization rate was far less favorable. We found that this nursing home had 2.06 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a concerning rate.
Nurse Quality
The last category we scored is nursing. This facility received an abysmal grade of F in that area. The nursing grade includes quite a few data points, but the paramount one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. 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. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This place had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility.
