Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

This nursing home received a quality overall score as described above, but we especially would like to point out its nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them an A+ in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively insignificant. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility was awarded high grades in the category of long-term care as well. Consequently, it received one of our most favorable scores in that category with a score of A. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are kept in good health. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 98.15951 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is far higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. Our nursing grade includes several subcategories, many of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 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 dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this statistic.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last category we rated was short-term care. We gave this nursing home a D in the area of short-term care, making this its weakest category grade. Short-term care ratings are important for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. This means a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The final measure we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.

Grade: B

In Heritage Nursing Center, 13.91% of Patients use Anti-Psychotic Medication
