Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this facility an A for its inspection grade. This grade is far more impressive than its overall rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we had a generally positive view of this nursing home's recent inspections.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next most favorable category we gave this nursing home in any category came in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. Our long-term care grades are based on a facility's volume of nursing services. This means a broad spectrum of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 99.01316 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to the area of short-term care, this nursing home received just a D in that category. In our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to forge a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Given its weak grade in this area, we weren't shocked to find that this place offers substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 5.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The next category we looked at was nursing, which ended up being this facility's weakest area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this category. The nursing rating weighs a number of data points. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. With only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, this facility's nurse staffing levels were far below average. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This place had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these statistics pulled down this facility's nursing grade quite a bit.

Grade: D

In Chapel Ridge Health and Rehab, 5.92% of Patients had Serious Falls

This is an indication of the percent of long-term patients which experienced falls which resulted in severe injury. Falls can arise for a variety of reasons, but excessive numbers of falls may be an indication of poor nursing care.

Grade: A

In Chapel Ridge Health and Rehab, 5.82% of Patients use Anti-Psychotic Medication
