Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's next most favorable score was long-term care. As it turns out, with a D in this area, it still performed relatively badly. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 83.72943 percent of its residents. This is pretty significantly lower than the national average. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 1.07 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
Nurse Quality
This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. We analyzed the skill-level of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses worked with residents, in computing our score in this area. This nursing home averaged only 2.9 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. To go along with its below average total nursing hours per patient, this facility had really poor scores in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing grades. For starters, we looked at the percentage of residents sustaining falls leading to serious injury. This facility was at more than 1.5 times the national average in this statistic. This is quite concerning in light of the fact that so many falls could be avoided with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the nursing home's fate of receiving a poor nursing rating.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed is short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. Our short-term care grade is often employed to assess a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to provide high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. With its abysmal grade in this category, we were not surprised to find that this facility offers significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The final measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 31.6 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below average.
