Short-term Care Quality
Even though we gave this facility a terrible overall score, we gave it a C for short-term care. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. We were pleased to find that this place employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. This can't be said for all facilities. Finally, we considered the number of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. This place performed respectably in this area with 46.6 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
Remarkably, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C for our nursing rating, which isn't a bad grade. Nursing scores are mostly based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides an impressive 4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Lastly, we also factored a few quality measures into our nursing grades. This nursing home was relatively weak in two of the major areas we look at, with subpar scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care offered.
Long-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home's third best category was long-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this category, it still performed somewhat badly. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means the facility didn't perform well in our measures relating to resident care. This facility's vaccination data weren't as favorable some of the other datapoints in this category, such as its number of nursing hours per resident. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 88.372086 percent of its residents. We would like to see some improvement herein this statistic in the future. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. We found that this place fared poorly with 3.21 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, this figure is nearly double the national average.
Facility Inspections
In our last area of inspections, this facility received an F in this area. Since this data is collected by independent government inspectors, we heavily weight negative feedback in this category. We would advise paying close attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection grade. We suggest you scrutinize the level of severity of those deficiencies. This facility had one category G through L deficiency, which are among the more severe deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies found by CMS had potential to create actual harm to residents. On top of having severe deficiencies, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
