Facility Inspections
Although we gave this nursing home a terrible overall score, we gave it an A- for our inspections score. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid places that have too many deficiencies. This place was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we gave this nursing home an F in the area of long-term care. When facilities receive this kind of grade in this category it is typically a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. After we finished assessing the amount of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated only 87.21312 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
Does this page answer your questions about Falling Water Healthcare Center?
Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. Our nursing score is based on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these statistics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at is short-term care. This facility received a very poor grade of F in this category. In our short-term care rating, we endeavor to create a valuable gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Considering its score in this area, we were not surprised to discover that this facility is well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the figures we looked at. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of residents that were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.6 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
