Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home highly overall, we want to point out its nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid facilities with a bunch of severe deficiencies flagged. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second best category was its short-term care score, where it received a C. In crafting these short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. This nursing home boosted its score in this category by offering more than 50% more physical therapy hours to its residents than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it outperformed the majority of facilities in this area with 51.3 percent of its patients returning home. This is a higher rate than most nursing homes.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we gave this facility a rock-bottom F in the area of long-term care. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. While we determined this nursing home has an above average amount of nursing hours provided by nurses and other nursing staff, we found its vaccine statistics to be a bit low. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 34.97758 percent of its patients. This is a figure we'd love to see this facility improve. Surprisingly, this place wasn't as bad as we expected at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Although it had 3.21 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was not bad since it had some more complicated patients.
Nurse Quality
The last category we assessed is nursing. This facility was given a bottom of the barrel grade of F in this area. There are a number of factors included in this grade. Most of these factors are tied to nurse staffing. According to CMS records, this place averaged 4.1 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This was actually above the national average. Keep in mind, however, that when we compute our nursing ratings, we apply more weight to hours performed by nurses with a higher level of skill. Despite performing well in terms of nursing hours, this facility had poor scores in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and we were very disappointed. This place was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this statistic. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. This statistic helped pull down this nursing home's nursing grade quite a bit.
