Short-term Care Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our short-term care rating. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Fortunately, this place offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. It performed respectably in this metric with 49.1 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
Remarkably, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B- for our nursing rating, which isn't a bad grade. Nursing grades are primarily based on a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.
Facility Inspections
Interestingly, this facility's horrible overall score probably can't be attributed to its inspection reports. We awarded it a C for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively insignificant. This nursing home was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were in category J, K or L. This tells you the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to put resident safety or health in imminent harm or jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received some government fines in recent years.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at was long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is a poor grade. Nursing homes that don't fare well in long-term care often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated 70.74176 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly less than the national average. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.23 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
