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 always a good 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 99.70846 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.

Our third area we assessed was short-term care, in which this nursing home received an F. 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. With a score in this range for this area, we were not stunned to find this nursing home was below average in many staffing figures we focus on. The nursing home supplied substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most facilities. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.4 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below average.

The last category we assessed is nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is a rock bottom score. This is obviously a major concern. Our nursing score consists of a handful of subcategories, however, the most important consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This particular facility provided a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This statistic is far below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This place performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
