Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To pair with its strong overall performance, we awarded this facility a grade of A for the area of inspections. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few relatively minor dings are not necessarily something to panic about.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this facility's higher category grades came in the category of long-term care. This proved to be its second most favorable category. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our long-term care grades are more meaningful for those in need of more traditional assistance related to personal care. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated 80.71749 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be quite a bit less than what we expected. Nevertheless, this place excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. Nursing ratings are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. It scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Our next category is short-term care, in which we gave this nursing home a grade of B- in that area. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the number of patients that returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Minimizes Pressure Ulcers

Grade: C

In Fort Washington Health & Rehabilitation Center, 10.28% of Patients had Pressure Ulcers

Minimizes Serious Falls

Grade: A

In Fort Washington Health & Rehabilitation Center, 2.53% of Patients had Serious Falls

Grade: B-minus

In Fort Washington Health & Rehabilitation Center, 9.63 Percentage of Patients

This metric measures the number of emergency room visits per 1,000 days of short-term patient care. Staying out of the emergency room is one way to assess patient care during rehabilitation.

Short-term Care: Facilitates Functional Improvement

Grade: B

In Fort Washington Health & Rehabilitation Center, 73.32% Percentage of Resident
