Short-term Care Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our short-term care grade. In crafting these short-term care scores, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to create a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. This nursing home is above the national average both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. These are generally good indicators of quality short-term care. The final measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that it fared as well as just about any facility in Maryland in this area with 72.3 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility earned excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better grades in that area, with an A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. This place was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to resident safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B+. In calculating a nursing home's nursing rating, we consider the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients as well as the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home provides 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we scored is long-term care. It received an F in this area, which is a poor score. You should not simply dismiss a facility due to a single bad category though. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. We were concerned by the fact that this facility vaccinated just 85.022026 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.52 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
