Fairfax Manor

This facility's best category grade came in the area of government inspections. In this category, we gave this nursing home a B+. It actually outperformed most facilities in this area. Inspection scores weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Without having deficiency data for this facility, it was challenging to really grade it in this area.

Another one of this nursing home's more impressive category grades was in the area of short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+. It actually fared better than most nursing homes in this category. Our short-term care grades are probably more critical for patients in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We were not able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. Our nursing score focuses on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of training of the nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This facility provides 0 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, while this nursing home got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this area.

The next area we assessed was long-term care, which was this facility's worst area. Sadly, it received an F in this category, which is clearly very concerning. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it generally means the facility didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to patient care. One of the statistics we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 91.89189 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
