Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received an impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that category with an A. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid nursing homes that had too many severe deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the category of long-term care, this nursing home was awarded a grade of just D in this area. Unfortunately, this ended up being one of its better features. Long-term care ratings in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 92.8934 percent of its patients, which is somewhat lower than we expected. Finally, we were stunned by the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this facility fared very poorly with 3.97 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, this statistic is more than twice the national average.
Short-term Care Quality
Our next category we graded was short-term care, in which this facility was given an F. Short-term care scores are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. In this place's case, we found that it offers far less registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Given its score in this area, this did not surprise us. The last measure we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 26.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. This statistic was damning for this facility's short-term care grade.
Nurse Quality
The final area we analyzed is nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this area, which is a very poor grade. Our nursing rating is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This facility provided a meager 3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. On top of receiving below average marks for nursing hours, this place was less impressive in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of residents suffering pressure ulcers and found this facility was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
