Short-term Care Quality
In addition to being a first-rate nursing home overall, this nursing home also excelled at short-term care, where it received an A+. In determining these short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility in Pennsylvania in this area with 77 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also received an A+ inspection grade, making it one of the rare facilities to receive multiple A+'s in our categories. This grade is based on the place's recent government inspections. An A+ in this area is one of the best complements we can pay to a nursing home. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning the page to our third area, we gave this facility a grade of A- for its long-term care score. This is a superb rating. For patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. This facility's vaccination records were not as favorable as its nursing hours. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 84.31373 percent of its residents. We would like to see some improvement herein this statistic in the future. The last datapoint we assessed was the nursing home's hospitalization rate. We found that this nursing home had 1.76 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is middle of the pack in this area.
Nurse Quality
The fourth category we looked at is nursing, where this nursing home received an A-. This finished off a very strong profile. Very few nursing homes received an A- or better in in each area we assessed. Our nursing rating is primarily tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provided 4.9 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This was one of the highest 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. On top of looking at levels of nursing care, we also looked at a few quality measures in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these statistics as predictive indicators of the quality of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
