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 the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. This nursing home boosted its score in this category by offering more physical therapy hours to its residents than the average facility. The last metric we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it fared as well as just about any facility in Virginia in this area with 65.8 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Nurse Quality
Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. The nursing score considers numerous factors. The most heavily weighted variable is the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents. This nursing home offers an extremely impressive 4.1 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is among the better totals in the state. Finally, this place also performed well in several of the quality measures we assessed. By way of illustration, in terms of the percentage of its patients suffering falls which lead to major injury, this nursing home performed better than the national average. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our last category, this facility was awarded an acceptable long-term care grade of C. Our long-term care grade assesses a facility's personal care rather than the highly skilled nursing or medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. This facility's vaccination statistics weren't as favorable some of the other statistics in this area, such as its nursing hours data. It gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 90.67524 percent of its residents. We would love to see some improvement herein this statistic in the future. Nevertheless, this nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.36 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
