Facility Inspections
Although we gave this nursing home a poor overall score, we gave it a B+ for our inspections rating. This was the result of the facility receiving a quality government inspection report this year. Inspection scores are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid facilities with severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. This turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this nursing home an F. We looked at the levels of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the number of hours the nurses were with patients, in calculating our grade in this area. This nursing home provided a meager 2.6 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Unfortunately, this place also had abysmal scores in some of the quality-based metrics to pair with its low nursing hours. We looked at the percentage of residents suffering pressure ulcers and we were quite disappointed. This nursing home was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this area. This is likely a bad sign in light of the fact that so many pressure ulcers are preventable with better nursing care. This metric helped pull down this nursing home's nursing rating quite a bit.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this nursing home an F in the category of long-term care. Nursing homes that don't fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We found that this nursing home provided the vaccine to just 87.62542 percent of its residents, which is somewhat concerning. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.97 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at is short-term care. This nursing home received a poor grade of F in that area. Our short-term care grades are believed to be most meaningful for people requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this nursing home offers far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the number of patients that returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 42.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
