Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. Our inspection scores weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Among this nursing home's several poor scores was its F in the category of short-term care. With our short-term care category, we try to create a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this place offers far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical nursing home. The last metric we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 43.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care score.
Long-term Care Quality
Another unfortunate development was the F this nursing home was given in the area of long-term care. Facilities that do not score well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 93.45048 percent of its residents. This is somewhat below what we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
Nurse Quality
The last category we graded is nursing, where this nursing home was given a rock bottom score in this category also. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is obviously very concerning. In calculating our nursing scores, we look at both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 2.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. In addition to receiving below average marks for nursing hours, this nursing home was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and found this facility was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this metric.
