Medical Staff Hours Per Patient (2019)
Nurse Quality
While this nursing home's overall grade was terrible, it didn't perform as poorly in nursing. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B- for this category. Our nursing grade is primarily associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 2.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, while this nursing home got docked a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this metric.
Long-term Care Quality
Incredibly, we gave this nursing home a grade of C for its long-term care score, which really isn't a bad grade. In determining these long-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. Once we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated only 90 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this nursing home had 2.68 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. While this figure is somewhat concerning, this number may be skewed for some nursing homes based on the preexisting medical conditions of residents.
Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, this facility received very poor inspection reports in recent years, causing them to receive an F for inspections. An F in this category is usually a sign that we found some red flags on the nursing home's government inspections. For facilities with bad inspection grades, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This facility was hit with one category J or K deficiency, which are among the worst categories of deficiencies. This generally means that CMS identified a deficiency which puts resident health or safety in imminent jeopardy. Finally, this facility also received 16 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we analyzed was short-term care, where this facility was given an abysmal grade in this area as well. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this category, which is definitely very concerning. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Considering its grade in this area, we weren't stunned to discover that this facility was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. Honestly, this was about what we expected here. The final statistic we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 33.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics doomed this nursing home's short-term care grade.
