Fairport Baptist Homes

While this facility's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection grades account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

We also awarded this nursing home an impressive score in long-term care. This nursing home earned a B+ in this category, which happens to be one of our more favorable grades. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 99.68848 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

This nursing home's next highest category was its short-term care score, where it received a C. Our short-term care scores are presumably most important for residents needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. It doesn't look like this nursing home submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The last metric we looked at in this category is the number of patients that returned home from the facility. We found that just 3.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

The final category we rated is nursing. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D for our nursing category, leaving this as the facility's least impressive grade. We weighed the levels of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses spent with residents, in computing our score in this category. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This facility had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility.
