Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home excelled in the area of short-term care, with an A- in this category. Our short-term care grade is generally used to score a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to offer high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This nursing home is respectable both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. The last metric we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. It performed as well as just about any facility in Maryland in this area with 69.2 percent of its patients returning home. With most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in inspections, where it received an A-. Few nursing homes performed as well in this area. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. Our nursing score features numerous subcategories. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This nursing home averages 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based measures, such as minimizing major falls. This nursing home performed admirably in this metric.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed was long-term care, which proved to be this facility's weakest category. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this area, which is clearly very concerning. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 95.51451 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.7 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
