Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To pair with a favorable overall score, we awarded this place an A+ for our inspection category. Arguably the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. We were not able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. We would like to have more information about this facility. Without having access to all of the deficiency related data, it was difficult to evaluate this nursing home in the inspections category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home was awarded strong scores in the area of short-term care as well. Indeed, we awarded it one of our strongest scores in that area with a score of A. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to assess a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to provide quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 6.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

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. When calculating a nursing home's nursing grade, we assess the quantity of hours nurses commit to residents and the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is not an impressive total. Lastly, our nursing grades also consider quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final category we graded is long-term care, which turned out to be this facility's least impressive category. We awarded this facility a D in this area. However, you should not assess this nursing home solely on this category, since it earned several high-end scores in other areas. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 97.95918 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.

In Care One at Ridgewood Avenue, 17.71% of Patients use Anti-Psychotic Medication
