Center for Rehabilitation at Hampton Woods The

Center for Rehabilitation at Hampton Woods The is located in Youngstown, Ohio. The city provides a variety of available nursing homes. Sporting an overall grade of A, this nursing home is one of the top nursing homes we found. In fact, we ranked this nursing home in the top quarter of all facilities in the nation. One of the major highlights of this facility's remarkable report card is its inspection grade. Inspection grades are discussed in the next section.

In addition to being an elite nursing home overall, this facility also performed well in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Few nursing homes fared as well in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. This nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

To complement its elite assessments in other areas, we gave this facility a grade of A for its long-term care grade. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are well cared for. This nursing home really knocked it out of the park in this category.

Turning our third area, this facility was given an excellent short-term care score. In fact, we gave it a score of A- in that area. In computing these short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. This place is above the national average in terms of both its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents. The last metric we assessed in this category is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that it fared better than most nursing homes in this area with 55.5 percent of its residents returning home.

The final area we graded is nursing, where this facility was awarded a grade of B. This actually was this facility's weakest category. A facility is doing something right when their lowest score still beats out most nursing homes. We assessed the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses spent with patients, in calculating our grade in this category. This nursing home provided 4.8 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This was one of the better totals we found. Furthermore, we found that a significant portion of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. These are both really impressive figures. In addition to providing impressive levels of nursing care, this nursing home also excelled in the quality-based metrics we assessed. By way of illustration, it performed as well as any facility in Ohio when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these statistics as good measures of the caliber of nursing care offered.
