Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A few relatively minor deficiencies aren't necessarily something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a positive grade in our short-term care category. We awarded this facility an above average grade of B in this category. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, we found that this nursing home provided respectable levels of physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This place performed better than most facilities in the country with 50.6 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
An additional reason we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received an A+ nursing rating. This is as good as it gets in this category. Nursing scores are primarily based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 4.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which was among the highest totals we found. Finally, this facility also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In terms of the percentage of its residents sustaining falls which lead to major injury, this facility performed as well as any nursing home in New York.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we graded was long-term care, which ended up being this facility's worst category. We gave this facility a D in that area. Naturally, this category pulled down the nursing home's overall grade to some degree. When facilities receive this kind of score in this category it is often a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the nursing home is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. This nursing home's vaccination statistics weren't as impressive as its nursing hours. It gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 88.47458 percent of its patients. We would like to see some improvement herein this statistic in the future. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 1.35 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
